Casino Night to Honor Ocean County Hunger Relief Program

All Proceeds to Benefit Charities


In conjunction with the annual summer campaign to raise money for hunger relief, Dr. Ron Rotem, a Toms River dentist, will be honoring Ocean County Hunger Relief (OCHR) at the casino party he is hosting Thursday evening, August 16, 2007, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Quality Inn, Toms River. Tickets cost $50.00 a person in advance and $75.00 per person if purchased at the door. In exchange for each ticket, players will receive playing chips valued at $250.00. To purchase the tickets in advance or to sponsor a table, call Dr. Rotem's office at 732-341-8500; or call Carol Latif, executive director of OCHR at 732-505-4357. All proceeds will benefit both Ocean of Love and Ocean County Hunger Relief.

The Quality Inn is serving complimentary hors d'oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages as their donation to both charities. There will be a cash bar, prizes, and raffles throughout the evening. The radio station WKMK, 98.5 FM of Press Communications, is donating promotional air time, radio personalities for the casino night, music, and prizes.

Ocean County Hunger Relief is a nonprofit organization in Toms River that feeds families. OCHR maintains 31 food pantries throughout Ocean County and has more than 300 volunteers, who help provide four-day emergency packages of nutritional food.
Latif, the executive director of OCHR, says, “We feed over 3,000 people each month and 50% of them are children. We rely on people like Dr. Rotem and community organizations to help us.”

Come out for an exciting night of entertainment and fun playing such casino games as black jack, roulette, slots, craps, Texas Hold ‘Em and more, while you help raise money to feed children and help those families whose children have cancer.
