5/25 Dempster hosts Casino Night July 20

Ryan Dempster and his wife Jenny will host the second annual Casino Night on July 20 at the Palmer House in downtown Chicago to benefit “Strike Out 22q” and raise funds to support the Ryan and Jenny Dempster Family Foundation. The Casino Night fundraiser will feature a night on the town to mingle with Cubs players as well as local musical guest, Chicago’s own, John Vincent.  Each of the celebrities from the sports and entertainment worlds will serve as guest dealers at the casino tables.  Guests will be able to bid on one-of-a-kind auction packages, experiences, and sports memorabilia.

Sponsorship opportunities, as well as VIP and general admission tickets, are now available online.  Tickets are available on the Foundation website at www.dempsterfamilyfoundation.org. Click on Casino Night button at the top of the page. 

“We are proud to announce our second annual Dempster Family Foundation summer fundraiser, Casino Night,” Jenny Dempster said.  “The funds we raise through the event will support our grant cycle this fall for both children and families affected by 22q11.2 deletion, and other select local children’s charities.  We look forward to seeing everyone out that evening to help raise money to support children here in Chicagoland.” 

The Ryan and Jenny Dempster Family Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of 22q11.2 Deletion (DiGeorge Syndrome/VCFS) and reaching out to families with children with the disorder, and the charities that support them, to help them deal with difficult situations they face each day.
