Once you lose your money gambling, that typically means it's time to go home. The Friends of the IDF's Casino Night fundraiser at the Metropolitan Pavilion was very much an exception to the rule.

Besides having the emptying pockets benefit a good cause, the event also included a performance by Estelle and Balkan Beat Box, yummy bites, open bar an some pretty intense raffle prizes. Co-chairs Josh Dardashtian, Tony Felzen and Jane Oster welcomed a few thousand friends and guests to get their dance on while enjoying both the revelry and flirting with lady luck all while supporting defense forces.
