Fundraiser to help save 11-year-old girl's sight
11-year-old Boca Raton resident Jessie Robinson was recently diagnosed with an optical condition that will eventually result in blindness without proper treatment. The family has visited several South Florida doctors to no avail, but found a specialist in Boston who may be able to help Jessie save her sight. Expenses are mounting, and the Boca Gatsby’s has offered to host a Casino Night at 7 p.m. July 30 to raise funds for Jessie’s care.
“When we heard about Jessie and her family’s situation we felt compelled to help them, and as a community we have the ability to provide this family with the opportunity to try to save their daughter’s sight. This fundraising event is going to be a fun evening filled with music, great food, fabulous drinks and wonderful raffle prizes, and we encourage everyone to come out for a terrific time,” said Mike Henry, one of Gatsby’s new owners. There will be Vegas-style gaming options including Black Jack, Craps, Roulette and slots. Tickets cost $30 at the door, which includes one premium drink, food and a casino card with 50 chips. Those unable to attend can still donate at any Washington Mutual Bank, care of Katya Robinson and The Benevolent Fund of Jessie Robinson, account #3184417159. For more information about the event, call Gatsby’s at 561-393-3900.
