Casino Night 2025 .
Rolling the Dice for Lives: A Casino Night in Memory of Olivia, Edison, and Colette
A Night Where Love Meets Purpose
On November 8th, 2024, the Milano Event Center in Sugar Land will transform into more than just a venue for games and entertainment—it will become a beacon of hope, a celebration of life, and a powerful force for change. The OEC Casino Night represents something deeply personal: our commitment to ensuring that no family experiences the devastating loss that inspired our foundation's creation.
Honoring Three Beautiful Lives
Olivia, Edison, and Colette Nguyen were more than names—they were children filled with dreams, laughter, and boundless potential. Their lives, though tragically cut short, continue to shine through every action we take, every family we protect, and every home we make safer. This casino night is our way of turning grief into grace, loss into legacy, and memory into meaningful action.
The Stakes: Lives We Can Save
When guests place their bets on November 8th, they're not just playing games—they're investing in a future where families sleep safely in their homes. The funds raised during this unforgettable evening will directly support our three-pillar mission:
Fire Safety Education That Saves Lives
Every dollar helps us reach more families with critical fire safety knowledge. We teach proper escape planning, smoke detector maintenance, and fire prevention techniques that can mean the difference between tragedy and safety. Our educational programs have already reached hundreds of families, but there are thousands more who need this life-saving information.
Life-Saving Fire Safety Boxes
Our signature Fire Safety Boxes contain essential tools for home fire protection: smoke detectors, fire blankets, escape ladders, and emergency flashlights. Each box represents a family's chance at survival. With your support, we can continue placing these boxes in homes throughout our community, creating a network of fire-safe havens.
Scholarships That Honor Their Memory
Education was important to Olivia, Edison, and Colette. Through our scholarship program, we ensure their love of learning lives on, helping deserving students pursue their dreams while carrying forward the message of fire safety awareness.
The Sobering Reality: Why Your Bet Matters
The statistics paint a picture that demands action:
Every 88 seconds, a home fire occurs in the United States
Seven people die in home fires every day
Home fires cause over $7 billion in property damage annually
3 out of 5 fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke detectors
Having a fire escape plan can reduce fire deaths by 50%
These aren't just numbers—they represent families, dreams, and futures that can be protected with the right knowledge and tools.
An Evening of Hope and Community
From 6:00 to 10:00 PM, guests will experience the thrill of casino games, the excitement of live and silent auctions, the fun of Heads or Tails, and the anticipation of our raffle drawings. But beyond the entertainment lies a deeper satisfaction: knowing that every chip placed, every bid made, and every ticket purchased brings us closer to our goal of creating fire-safe communities.
The delicious food and warm fellowship will remind us that while we gather to remember those we've lost, we're also celebrating the power of community to protect those we love.
Your Invitation to Make a Difference
This Casino Night isn't just about chance—it's about choice. The choice to honor three beautiful children by protecting others. The choice to turn a night of entertainment into a lifetime of safety for countless families. The choice to ensure that Olivia, Edison, and Colette's legacy burns bright in every home we help protect.
