Playing Blackjack for charity

DrinkEatPlay and CozmoCard are hosting a gaming, dining and wine tasting event on Saturday, August 26th. The event will take place at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hangar and it will feature more than 30 restaurants and over 50 wineries.

Attendants will be able to play blackjack, craps, roulette and poker with “play money”. All of their winnings will be exchanged for raffle tickets to participate in a drawing for prizes that include concert tickets, museum memberships, and a first-class weekend trip to Las Vegas.

The gambling night is being promoted as Los Angeles’ most “sinful” food and wine gala. However, the purpose of it is anything but sinful since a portion of the money raised will benefit Step Up Women’s Network, an organization that strengthens community resources for women.
