In October 2009, I was given the opportunity to write a television commercial and the official press release for Daniel Kids' Black Jack in the Stacks fundraising gala. The casino-style event was a great success and raised $92,000 for the nonprofit agency. Yet another reason why I love what I do!

Press Release
Black Jack in the Stacks Set For Oct. 24
The formal event boasts an exciting itinerary that includes mock casino games where players can earn real prizes, as well as silent and live auctions, hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. Individual tickets can be purchased for $150. All net proceeds will benefit local programs that serve the abused, abandoned and emotionally-troubled children of daniel.
Event Chair Selina Beenen is looking forward to making the gala an annual daniel affair. “During my time at daniel, I saw how life-changing their programs were,” said Beenen, who is also former therapist with the organization. “This new event is a great way to introduce people to daniel and allow them to begin supporting the agency’s important programs simply by enjoying a fun evening out on the town.”
For tickets and additional information please visit www.danielkids.org or call 904.296-1055, extension 1003.
Daniel is Florida’s oldest not-for-profit child-service agency. Originally established as an orphanage in 1884, daniel has evolved into a multi-service agency that assists more than 1,000 children, adolescents and families each day with a variety of innovative and nationally-recognized programs.
