Fun and Games at Casino Night 2017

More than 100 CEF supporters gathered at ULCC on March 9 for Casino Night 2017, the organization’s signature fundraising event.  This year’s theme, Brazilian Carnival, was a festive celebration and fundraiser benefiting CEF’s scholarship awards for aspiring engineers.  The evening featured casino table games, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, wine grab, and an amazing buffet of Brazilian-inspired foods.  The Clemente High School Steel Drum Band added to the festive atmosphere with a fun, live performance.

The leadership of the Engineers’ Foundation wishes to thank all of the attendees, volunteers, sponsors and donors for making this event a tremendous success.  Special acknowledgment to everyone at ULCC, the Women’s Roundtable, and Field and Stream Group.  In addition, many individuals and companies contributed to the event.  Thank you to A.M.
