Casino is our major fund-raising event

Casinos in Alberta are provincially regulated. Casino dates are allocated to non-profit organizations as fund-raising opportunities and the non-profit, of which we are one, supplies volunteers as chip runners on the floor and as the staff in the cash cage for a 2 day period. Casino opportunities are much sought after in Alberta because they are so lucrative for the amount of time the volunteers contribute. Each qualified and approved non-profit has an opportunity once every 18 months or so.

The paper work you will be asked to complete is required by the gambling commission. You will receive training at the site at the beginning of your shift. If you have not done this before, these events can be eye openers as well as relaxing fun.

Each 2-day Casino has been delivering $60,000 or more to the ABBA for its 2-day event. Casinos are one of the most lucrative forms of fund raising for athletic non-profit organizations.

The money raised by these events is pooled and then allocated to all the organizations participating. Contact your executive if you want to check out how all this works.
