SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) – The San Luis Frontera Rotary Club brought the community together for a night of entertainment and giving during its Third Annual “Wild West Casino Night.”
The event, which took place at 8 p.m. Friday at 780 N. Cesar Chavez Street in San Luis, Arizona, featured a lively atmosphere with table games like blackjack, roulette and craps, along with refreshments, raffle prizes and music.
While no real money was exchanged, participants used chips to increase their chances of winning prizes, adding excitement to the night while supporting a meaningful cause.
Organizers say the goal of the event is to raise money for local students pursing higher education.
“The purpose of the event is to fundraise for scholarships for local students who want to get a post-secondary education. So that’s what we do,” Martha Huizar, the President of the San Luis Frontera Rotary Club, said. “We fundraise and then we have a lot of fun while we’re at it. We get a lot of sponsors. A lot of people from the community come and enjoy themselves.”
Proceeds from the event will go toward the club’s scholarship fund, helping students in the San Luis community continue their education beyond high school.
The San Luis Frontera Rotary Club, the only Rotary club in San Luis, is guided by its motto, “Service Above Self.”
Members say they plan to continue hosting events like Casino Night to give back and strengthen the community.
The event lasted until midnight, and was in partnership with Onvida Health.
