This exciting evening will feature casino-style gaming, a delicious dinner, live entertainment, raffles, auctions, and more. Guests will enjoy an open bar, interactive games, and a two-hour live performance by rising country music artist Waylon Hanel.
A Millington native, Hanel has quickly gained national recognition and was recently named Artist of the Year at the 2025 Josie Music Awards in Nashville, making this a special and highly anticipated hometown performance.
All proceeds from Casino Night will support three critical hospital projects across the Aspire Rural Health System, including:
- Deckerville Community Hospital parking lot expansion project, improving access and convenience for patients, visitors, and staff
- Hills & Dales inpatient room renovation, enhancing comfort, privacy, and healing environments for hospitalized patients
- Marlette Regional Hospital state-of-the-art ambulance, strengthening emergency response and lifesaving care throughout the community
Tickets are $100 per person and include dinner, casino offerings, live entertainment, open bar access, games, prizes, raffles, and auctions. Community members and local businesses are able to support the event by donating gift baskets or becoming a sponsor.
“This event brings people together for a fun night while making a meaningful impact,” said Aspire Rural Health System Foundation Director, Stephanie Langenburg. “Every ticket and sponsorship directly supports improvements to our hospitals and the care our communities rely on.”
