A Night Of Champions

A Night of Champions is a special celebration to honor our Saskatchewan Olympic athletes. Join us Wednesday April 7 for a unique and delightful evening of fun and food at the Casino Show Lounge. You will have the opportunity to meet Saskatchewan Olympic athletes, get autographs, carry the Olympic torch and take photos with medal-winning Olympians.

This special event is a joint fundraiser sponsored by two well-known Regina organizations: the Regina Foodbank and the Rotary Club of Regina Eastview. Funds raised for the Night of Champions will go directly to two important causes: eliminating hunger in Regina and building schools in Guatemala.

Tickets are $75, but you are eligible for a $50 tax receipt for the charitable portion. For tickets call Casino Regina at 565-3000 or 1-800-555-3189. You may also call Regan Sanderson 591-5559, Gary Dickson 798-1601 or Todd Sandin 791-6533 ext. 228 for tickets and sponsorship opportunities.
