Throughout the evening, guests will have the chance to challenge Hurricanes players who will be inter-mixed amongst the games. Hurricanes coaches, broadcasters and front office executives will be in attendance as well. Guests will enjoy a diverse and premiere menu celebrating the best in North Carolina with a full-service food buffet and open bar.
The event will also feature a silent and live auction. The silent auction will include nearly 100 items, highlighted by the popular "player baskets" assembled by each player with their "favorite things." The live auction will include as many as six items, headlined by the "Trip with the Team." The 2016 Casino Night raised over $100,000 for local, non-profit children's organizations.
