Place your bets for Las Vegas style night for Bally

The glitz and glamour of Las Vegas is coming to Suffolk for one night only.

A casino night has been organised to raise vital funds for The Elena Baltacha Foundation which gives children from all backgrounds the opportunity to learn to play tennis.

Guests will be able to place their bets on six casino tables while enjoying Rat Pack-style music from The Hi-Hat Jacks and delicious Vegas-style street food at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall on Friday, March 20.

Former British number one Elena lost her battle with liver cancer in May 2014 at the age of just 30.

Nino Severino, chairman of The Elena Baltacha Foundation, said: “Bally set up her tennis academy with one goal – to give more children, from all backgrounds, the chance to learn to play the sport in which she dedicated her life to.

“Fundraising events like the casino night are vital to continue Bally’s legacy of inspiring youngsters to pick up a racket and play tennis.

“The casino night promises to be a fantastic evening of entertainment with all the glitz and glam of Las Vegas.

“A huge thanks to our official supporters Birketts LLP, Prettys Solicitors, Ashtons Legal, Cake People Development, The Adecco Group, Gallaghers, Hudson Group and Prominent.”

Tickets cost £65 per person and include a welcome cocktail on arrival from 7.30pm.

Guests will also receive $30 of starter chips and the option to buy more on the night.

There will also be a host of incredible prizes including memorabilia from the World Tennis Tour to bid on through an impressive silent auction.
