GCC’s gala Monte Carlo Night a sure bet to help students in need

Germanna Community College’s Monte Carlo Casino Night  brings a little bit of Las Vegas to the area from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. this Saturday, April 9 at the Daniel Center in Culpeper to help raise money for area students in need. The gala, black tie event features Vegas-style gambling for big prizes, libations, food, music and dancing.

Over the years, it’s become one of the area’s major social events. All proceeds go to the GCC Educational Foundation’s Germanna Guarantee Program, which helps fill in the gaps students for whom traditional financial aid falls short. Tickets for the black tie gala are $75 and will be available at the door. Libations, food and music and dancing and Las Vegas-style gambling for big prizes,are included. Last year a Culpeper woman won an all-expenses paid trip for two to Las Vegas.
