Casino Night raises $6,500 for the Champions Fund

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Near West Recreation raised over $6,500 at this year’s Casino Night! These funds will directly support the Near West Recreation Champions Fund, ensuring that all youth players can participate in sports—regardless of financial barriers.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who made this night such a success:

To our dedicated volunteers, who gave their time and energy to make everything run smoothly, thank you.

To our amazing partner organizations—Ohio City Incorporated, Northwest Neighborhoods, Metro West, and Tremont West—your unwavering support means the world to us.

To our fantastic food and drink sponsors, Noble Beast Brewing and Cilantro Taqueria, your contributions truly elevated the event.

 To our generous table sponsors, St. Paul’s Community Church, Horizon Education Centers, Councilman Kris Harsh, and Zimmerman CPAs—your commitment to our mission is deeply appreciated.

This night wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you. Your belief in our mission inspires us every day to continue making sports accessible for all youth.

We’re already counting down to next year’s Casino Night and can’t wait to see you all again!
