An annual fundraiser took place Saturday night for the St. George PTO.
The goal of Mardi Gras Casino Night was to raise $50,000 to replace the aging playground.

There were casino-style games for guests with donation bins on most tables with each piece of playground equipment.
This is the second year of the fundraiser, the chairperson said last year’s event was such a success that it had to be moved off-site this year to the Perry Hi-Way Hose Company fire hall on Oliver Road.

“We are actually looking for a matching donor we had an anonymous donor step forward that would give us $25,000 but our goal tonight is to find him a matching donor that would also put in a $25,000 donation so that’s kind of what we’re trying to work for tonight we’ll see if it happens,” said Maegan Levy, chairperson for the casino night.
A committee member said they hope to provide a playground for children to have for many years to come.
