The event will be an upscale gala based off the James Bond films of the same name, with attendees invited to dress formally and play themed casino games. The gala will also feature a formal dinner followed by dancing, with a live DJ setting the mood. Attendees can bid on silent auction items or enter raffles for special prizes, with proceeds going towards charity.
The Casino Royale Gala will be raising money for United Way Oxford, which provides support for many nonprofit organizations in Woodstock and the surrounding area through a unified donation pool. Fundraising events like this often use poster printing and speeches to help outline the work the beneficiary organization does in the community.
The Great Give Oxford is a local organization which aims to hold high-impact fundraising events in the Woodstock area. Advertisement for the event emphasizes these goals for the Casino Royale event:
“Whether you're joining us for the excitement, the philanthropy, or the chance to dress to the nines, this will be the signature community event of the year. Your night out becomes a night that changes lives.”
The Great Give’s Casino Royale Gala will take place on the evening of May 23 at Oxford Auditorium.
