Roulette. Guests enjoyed live music by Hale Baskin and her Jazz Addiction,
Cajun-style cuisine by Cool River Café, an open bar with great drinks and wines

The annual event, which raises money to support the charitable causes of
the Dallas Stars Foundation, was a record breaking one – raising $325,000 for
the Dallas Stars Foundation.
The Dallas Stars Foundation focuses on providing support to children in our
community so they may lead quality lives and develop into contributing members
of society. Through teamwork, interaction, and education, the Dallas Stars
Foundation works to bring together all members of the Metroplex and build a
bright future for today’s youth.
