6th Annual AHS Casino Night and AHSF Benefit

Join us Thursday, October 2, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM for our popular fundraiser and benefit for the AHS Foundation — fun-filled evening of table games, plus a raffle, and an auction. Examples of 2023 raffle prizes and auction items are shown below.

Who can attend? This event is perfect for experts and novices alike. Professionals will teach you everything you need to know about the games and ensure that everyone has a great experience. Attendees must be at least 21.

Is it included with my symposium registration? Yes — if you have registered for the full symposium (both days). It is NOT included for single-day, student, or extra daily exhibitor registrations, but you can purchase tickets separately.

How does it work? When you check in, you’ll get a voucher for $2,000 in “chips,” two drink tickets, and hors d’oeuvres. You can cash chips in, any time, for raffle tickets ($500 per ticket).

Raffle & Auction

At about 8:00 PM, we’ll start the raffle drawing and auction. All ticket sales will benefit the AHS Foundation. Donations are used to help support the annual educational expenses for the Bouwer, Halpenny, and Avery intern scholarships; AHS academic scholarships; high school science fair awards; K-12 science teachers; and other educational endeavors.

Who can participate? Only registered symposium attendees are eligible to purchase raffle tickets and participate. You need to be present to win and claim your prize.

What kinds of prizes can we expect? We’ve had some outstanding raffle prizes in the past, thanks to our generous donors (check out below). Each sponsor / exhibitor who offers a prize will have a container at their booth for you to deposit your ticket(s).

Can I buy extra tickets? Beginning in September, you can purchase raffle tickets for $5 each or 5 for $20 (online only) before and during the symposium up until 7:15 PM on Thursday, October 2, and pick them up at the registration desk.
