Real estate young guns bankroll Dallas shelter with fun casino party
What: Real Estate Council Young Guns ninth annual Casino Night
Where: South Side on Lamar and Soda Bar at NYLO Dallas South Side
The 411: Young professionals on the Dallas commercial real estate scene put on their party shoes for the ninth annual Casino Night, an ’80s-themed evening with casino-style games, cocktails, raffle prizes and tunes from DJ Jason Esquire. But these guys played craps with purpose: to raise funds for this year’s Young Guns foundation project, Genesis Women’s Shelter. Their efforts will create a cleaner, more efficient and welcoming facility for hundreds of women and children victims of family violence — from fundamentals like electrical repair to enhancing the outdoor landscaping. The Real Estate Council Young Guns are commercial real estate professionals 35 and under who are driven by a common vision to develop relationships while promoting awareness and involvement in social, political and community issues that affect the city of Dallas.
