PARSIPPANY — The Friends of Lake Hiawatha, a local organization dedicated to supporting the beautification of the North Beverwyck Road corridor, will host a Casino Night fundraiser on Saturday, October 3, at the Parsippany Police Athletic League, 33 Baldwin Road, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The goal of the fundraiser is to bring holiday spirit back to downtown Lake Hiawatha. For years, the Friends of Lake Hiawatha provided festive decorations along North Beverwyck Road. However, as the ongoing revitalization project began, the old decorations became incompatible with the new light posts, leaving the corridor undecorated during construction. With construction now nearing completion, organizers are eager to restore holiday cheer with the fundraiser.
Event highlights include a meal provided by the Sons of Italy, $100 in play money to test attendees’ luck and skill at various casino games, opportunities to win prize baskets, and an evening with neighbors and community members.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at Landmark Florist, located on North Beverwyck Road in Lake Hiawatha, or by calling Antoinette at (862) 432-2174. Advance purchases are strongly recommended, as tickets will only be sold at the door if the event does not sell out.
The Friends of Lake Hiawatha is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All proceeds from the event will go directly toward purchasing new decorations designed for the updated light posts. In addition to decorating the corridor, the organization hosts the annual Winterfest celebration, a community favorite featuring the arrival of Santa.
