Hibiscus Children’s Center Presents “Evening in the Tropics” to Benefit Children

Get ready to escape to a night of vibrant fun, island elegance, and heartwarming purpose at Hibiscus Children’s Center’s “Evening in the Tropics” Casino Night! This dazzling event takes place on Friday, November 14th at the beautiful new Mariner Sands Country Club, transforming the evening into a tropical paradise filled with excitement.

Guests will be swept away by the thrill of the casino tables, savor a gourmet dinner, and dance the night away to the beats of DJ Brian Lemen.   The festivities begin at 5:30pm with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, then head to the Casino to roll the dice! Each guest will receive a $100 voucher for chips and additional vouchers can be purchased throughout the evening.  Everyone will get a chance to win the incredible raffle baskets! 

All proceeds from the evening directly benefit children living at Hibiscus Children’s Center—providing them with educational and literacy programs, medical and dental care, and critical mental health counseling. Your support ensures children can heal from trauma, access life-changing opportunities, and build a brighter future instead of becoming another statistic. Your generosity makes healing possible.
