Join Us on For Our Biggest Event of the Year
Blue Door Banquet: Casino Royale
Saturday, September 26th
Join us for an unforgettable evening of high stakes and higher impact, where the cards are hot, the cocktails are flowing, and every hand helps create brighter futures for local youth.
As our biggest fundraiser of the year, we’re raising the stakes with an evening that unfolds across two iconic venues.
The night begins at 4:15pm with an intimate dinner at Cucina Florabella, featuring a thoughtfully curated three-course meal, house-selected wines, live string music, and an intimate evening of community, generosity, and purpose.
Then, from 6pm-9pm the celebration continues in the Governor’s Room at the historic Florence Building, where guests will enjoy hosted poker with raffled prizes, live jazz and dancing, specialty cocktails, decadent desserts, late-night bites, and an atmosphere worthy of 007 himself.
Every ticket and every toast helps create life-changing opportunities for the young people of the Boys & Girls Club of Missoula County.
