Shield Bearer Counseling Centers hosted their first “Play it Forward – Casino Royale” on November 13th. The night was a resounding success and raised over $70,000 to continue offering affordable mental health services to the community. The event featured 13 game tables, wine pull, mystery boxes, and a silent auction.
The evening was underwritten by C&T Mortgage, Inc. with additional sponsorships by A Splash of Sass, H.E.B., Chuck Ransleben, CPA., and Sassy Swan Events. Additionally, Cake Fine Pastries donated an entire table of gorgeous deserts, and Cypress Lifestyle continued to support Shield Bearer with a media sponsorship. Trina Cameron-Rothman supported the event by donating her time and talents to do photography.
