Can you believe our first Casino Night was held a decade ago? We’re thrilled to invite you to NJCDC’s Tenth Annual Casino Night, happening on Friday, March 21, 2025 at The Brownstone! This beloved event is one of the highlights of our year, offering an unforgettable evening of fun, food, and philanthropy. Guests will enjoy playing classic casino games like craps, roulette, and blackjack, while savoring an open bar, a delicious buffet dinner, and a spectacular dessert extravaganza.
At the end of the evening, guests will exchange their chip winnings for raffle tickets and have the chance to win amazing prizes — all while supporting a great cause.
Bet on a Bright Future for Paterson’s Youth
While Casino Night promises fun for all who attend, it’s also a critical fundraiser for NJCDC. Every dollar raised helps us continue our mission of preparing Paterson youth for college — and beyond. From college tours to scholarships, youth development programs, and college fairs, your support enables us to make higher education a reality for the 8,000 children living or attending school in our neighborhood.

Your Impact
With your help, we’ve already seen incredible success! Our program alumni have gone on to attend top universities, including Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins — often with full scholarships. By joining us at Casino Night, you’ll help us create more success stories and invest in the future of Paterson’s youth.
