Brooklyn nonprofit glass center rolls the dice with casino fundraiser

FILED UNDER: Events

 

UrbanGlass will hold a fund-raising gambling event at the Steuben flagship store in Manhattan on Friday, November 12th.

 

Madison Avenue Manhattan will be more like Monte Carlo on Friday, November 12th, when the Stueben flagship store in New York City is transformed into an elegant casino with roulette wheels, card tables, and a glass fashion show. Though the thrill of wining or losing it all will be very real, there will not be cash winnings to take home. Instead, it’s all in good fun and for a good cause — part of an UrbanGlass fundraising event.Brooklyn-based nonprofit arts center UrbanGlass, publisher of GLASS Quarterly magazine, is seeking to raise funds for its many programs and glass studio. The event will include numerous glass prizes, an open bar serving premium Tequila Avion and a show-stopping glass fashion show by Ivan Mora, appropriately entitled “Queen of Hearts.”
