NBA stars, famous faces from the world of television and Latin-Grammy winners were present at a casino night at The Collection in Florida.
Latin-Grammy winner Jorge Moreno, ex-NBA/Miami Heat player Brian Grant and NBC/6 Meteorologist Paul Deanno were three of the recognisable faces on the guest-list at The Collection in Florida this week, playing roulette, poker and other games.According to the Coral Gables Gazette, the YMCA Casino Night – held in aid of the Strong Kids Campaign – "was full of fun and excitement" as the players got to grips with craps, blackjack and Las-Vegas-style activities.
During the course of the evening, the guests raised $75,000 (£38,000), which will go towards the South Dade and Homestead Family Branch of the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

Funds gathered from the event will ultimately provide scholarships for after-school care, sports and summer schemes, and pre-school services.
Bimbo Coles, who was a member of the bronze-medal-winning 1988 US Olympic basketball team, was one of the co-chairman of the evening.
