Double Down at Casino Royale

MSAR's Casino Royale is back for its second year! Metro South's Young Professionals Network has collected feedback to make this event the one you can't miss. Here's why:

  1. Casino Royale is now open to everyone! You don't have to be a REALTOR® or MSAR member to purchase a ticket; you only have to be 18 and ready to have a great time! Invite your friends, significant others, family, business connections, and others.
  2. The night is all about fun: We took the event down to its core - an evening of fun gaming, great food, good drinks, and even better company. You'll see an enhanced guest experience in 2026, from the way we serve the food and drinks to the basics of our program. We want you to do one thing with your evening - show up and have fun!
  3. Every dollar spent on tickets, extra play money, and drink tickets helps MSAR reach its Political Fundraising goals. If you needed a good reason to treat yourself, there it is!

Give Back to a Member in Need

Are you able to help one of MSAR's members during their time of need? See two ways you can make a difference below!

Fellow member Edna Parham and her spouse were both seriously injured in a car accident that was no fault of their own. Their injuries have limited their mobility and their ability to drive, and both are unable to work while they recover.

 

The timing could not have been harder. They were in the middle of a move when the accident happened, and everything they own is now in storage. Their bills, housing costs, transportation needs, and storage fees continue to come due, and missing those storage payments could mean losing all of their belongings.

 

Edna and her spouse have always been the ones who show up for others. Now they need our community to show up for them.

How You Can Help

  • Give monthly. A recurring gift gives them steady support to cover ongoing costs while they heal.
  • Give once. A one-time gift of any amount makes a real difference.
  • Share. Passing the fundraiser along to your network helps too.
  • Offer Rides to Appointments and Errands. If you can't give financially, but would like to offer rides to appointments or other forms of care, please notify david@msarboard.com to be put in touch with the member.

Thank you for standing with Edna and her family when they need it most.

This fundraiser is organized by the member through GoFundMe and is not administered by MSAR.
