This event gives all attendees the opportunity to enjoy an evening filled with the lights and excitement of Las Vegas while supporting a great cause in their own backyard! "We're excited to put on this great event," said April Carpenter, President of Avalon Park Kiwanis Club. "We have a lot of wonderful prizes including a vacation, gift baskets and gift cards."

The event is open to all members of the community, however guests must be at least 21 years or older to attend. "Our goal is to hopefully raise $5,000 at the Chips Helping Children event," said Carpenter. "It's a great opportunity to have fun and socialize while also giving back to the kids in our community. 100% of the monies raised at this event will go directly to fund our local public school service programs and projects, as well as, our annual college scholarship contest.
