Cayman Connection, the not-for-profit membership organisation which supports Caymanians and friends of Cayman living overseas, is holding a casino night fundraiser in Cayman this weekend that is intended to help the organisation continue its mission to connect the Caymanian diaspora to home. 

On Saturday, 16 March, patrons will return to the glitz and glamour of the roaring twenties at the Great Gatsby-themed casino night which will feature blackjack and craps tables, live entertainment and a live auction, bubbles and nibbles, a raffle and more.  For $125 per person, guests will receive $1000 worth of playing chips with which to try their luck. As all forms of gambling are illegal in the Cayman Islands, the games are for entertainment purposes only, and no wagers will be accepted.

Funds raised from the event will go toward implementing educational and support programmes that provide resources and platforms for overseas Caymanians to support their holistic wellbeing as they transition to living overseas. These programmes will enable Caymanians and friends to stay connected to their precious culture and heritage whilst away from home to help them fly the flag, no matter where in the world they are.

“We at Cayman Connection are excited to host our first ever fundraiser event in Grand Cayman. We look forward to an evening of excitement and entertainment, all in aid of supporting a great cause in positively impacting our global Caymanian community,” said Ashlea Smith, Executive Director.

The Great Gatsby Casino Night fundraising event takes place on Saturday, 16 March at the Westin Resort Ballroom from 7pm to 11:30pm. Tickets can be purchased on eventpro.ky until midnight on Wednesday, 13 March after which time, persons interested in attending can pay at the door.
