PLAY IT FORWARD: Casino Royale Hits the Jackpot

July 20 2022

Shield Bearer Counseling Centers hosted its second annual Play it Forward: Casino Royale at Sandlewood Manor on July 15th. The event featured 11 game tables, wine pull, mystery boxes, a silent auction, a DJ, and dancing. The location was beautiful, and the night was a great success raising over $75,000 for Shield Bearer. The money will be used to continue offering mental health therapy without barriers throughout Houston and Texas.
