Jokers and Jackpots
Bridges Domestic Violence Center will host its 16th Annual Jokers & Jackpots Gala art deco style on Saturday, August 22 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. in Jamison Hall at The Factory at Franklin. Attendees are encouraged to dress in Roaring 20s fashion. Women of Williamson, formerly Soroptimist International of Franklin, is the presenting sponsor. Other supporters include the First Tennessee Foundation, Molly Maids, Williamson Medical Center, and over 10 additional local businesses.
There will be something for everyone! Guests will have the opportunity to play a variety of casino games including Texas Hold’em, poker, roulette, craps and blackjack. Chips can be “cashed in” for prizes that will be given away at the end of the evening. For those who love to shop, there will be a large silent auction of artwork, jewelry, signed celebrity memorabilia, home décor and gift items, tickets to local performances and attractions, restaurant gift cards, sports items, and pampering services. Special items will be available in the live “fantasy” auction. Guests can also dance the night away, enjoy food from local restaurants and caterers, and sip on beer, wine and cocktails.
Tickets are $90 per person or $175 per couple. For further details on this event or to make reservations, please visit www.bridgesdvc.org. All proceeds benefit Bridges.
