Recently the Morgan Auto Group family hosted their First Annual Casino Night for the Helping Hand Fund. A $15 donation instantly turned into $200 in gaming chips to use at tables named for Las Vegas’ most notable casinos. Attendees were treated to drinks and hors d’oeuvres while browsing the silent auction items available.

As with any special event, many special people contributed a tremendous amount of time and energy to ensure this event was a success. A special Thank You goes out to the following individuals and their families who dedicated time, money and hard work for this event: Shannon Bento, Shelly Burnett, Rosemary Shell, Misty Fairchild, Teressa Duke, Jason Hillman, Geraldine Towson, Jessi Beckwith, Wanda Chandler, Alicia Bailey, Dianne Finnegan, Dee Brack, Nate Cook, Tim Connelly, Harvey Mondragon, Wolf Muisener, Brian Clark, Nick Gallagher, Mitchell Messer, Ariel Negron, Mark Limerick, Ed Wine, Richard Desousa and Alex Laverde.

Over 150 employees attended the event which raised over $10,000 for the fund. The Helping Hand Fund was created by Larry Morgan, Brett Morgan and Lauren Ellerman to offer support to employees and their families in times of hardship. Funds are donated by employees through events like Casino Night and voluntary payroll deductions which are matched by the Morgan Auto Group. Employee’s requests for assistance from the Helping Hand Fund are kept strictly confidential.
