SAFFORD — Las Vegas is coming to Safford to help expand the hospital’s Emergency Department.
The Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center Foundation and United Way of Graham and Greenlee Counties announced a Casino Royale fund-raiser will take place May 1 at the historic Safford Theater.
Tickets are $100 each and purchasers receive $100 in chips and two drink tickets. Plus there will be entertainment and prizes.
The funds raised will help the hospital upgrade its Emergency Department, following the hospital’s recent designation as a Level III Trauma Center. In the announcement, hospital officials said the upgraded ER will “reduce wait times, increase patient capacity (and) strengthen trauma readiness.”
In addition to purchasing tickets, local businesses and patrons can support the fund-raiser through sponsorships, including:
- $1,500 Roulette Rocker — entry for two guests, $1,000 in chips for each guest, four drink tickets and social media recognition
