 DRZHIVEGAS RETURNS TO CELEBRATE ONE YEAR OF LAND-BASED GAMING!

VIVA DRZHIVEGAS!  On October 20, 2018, Tropicana Evansville’s new land-based casino will be one year old.  To help celebrate this milestone, the band that opened the 421 Casino Lounge is returning!  Performing over 200 energized shows per year, DRZHIVEGAS dazzles crowds.  This weekend, DRZHIVEGAS will be captivating audiences once again at Tropicana Evansville’s 421 Casino Lounge!

Frankie Muriel, the group’s charismatic leader, describes their performances as “in your face, fierce, rock meets dance club funk.  I like the kind of music that makes people feel alive, sexy and unable to sit still,” Muriel explains.

DRZHIVEGAS segues easily from today’s sounds like “Moves Like Jagger” and “Rollin’ In The Deep” to yesterday’s “Jump,” “Let’s Dance” and the Stones’ “Brown Sugar.”

See DRZHIVEGAS at 421 Casino Lounge on Friday, October 19 from 7PM-12AM and on Saturday, October 20 from 7PM-10: 30 PM.  Arrive early!  No admission fee, just a two-drink minimum for a night of fun!

Then on Saturday, DJ Dadi revs up his turntables of fire with an electrified mix to keep the dance party sizzling from 11PM-2AM.

Hangers, EVSC Clothing Resource to Host Celebration

0
Wednesday, October 17
1:00 p.m.
Hangers is located on the backside of the Academy of Innovative Studies Campus (entrance off Wedeking Ave.)
Hangers will host a celebration with State Farm. State Farm announced $25,000 to benefit Hangers last week.  The October 17th celebration includes a check presentation and local State Farm representatives.

$25,000 to Benefit Hangers from State Farm Grant

The EVSC Foundation is pleased to announce an award of $25,000 from State Farm’s Neighborhood Assist program to benefit Hangers, a clothing resource that provides clothing and hygiene supplies for nearly 2,500 EVSC students every year. The grant, currently in its seventh year, inspires and empowers people to turn caring into doing.

To receive the grant, the EVSC Foundation first had to submit a grant proposal which was selected as a finalist out of thousands of nationwide submissions. Once a finalist, the EVSC Foundation competed against 199 other finalists to receive the highest number of votes. The public could vote 10 times a day, every day for 10 days for their favorite charitable cause.

“Hundreds of supporters voted, shared social media posts, and cheered for Hangers to win,” said Maureen Barton, EVSC Foundation executive director. “When you witness students saying, ‘Everything I own is in this bag.’ or ‘may I take another toothbrush for my sister because we share?’ the cause speaks for itself and the community responded.”

The $25,000 grant allows Hangers to purchase additional clothing and supplies for students, helping to ensure all students have the necessary clothing and supplies to be successful in school whether they are experiencing a short-term transition, house fire, poverty, or affected by homelessness.

“At any given time, any one of us may need a helping hand and that is what Hangers does,” said Dave Schutte, director of Hangers. “State Farm and our community’s support positions us to act as a valuable resource for EVSC students and families.”

According to Barton, the impact of Hangers goes beyond the student—it reaches families, volunteers, team members, local businesses, and the EVSC family. Hangers helps reduce barriers so students can focus on what is important…their education.”

Hangers accepts new and gently-used clothing and financial contributions. Hangers also offers volunteer opportunities and tours for organizations looking to support students. Hangers is located at the EVSC’s Academy for Innovative Studies, 2319 Stringtown Road (entrance off Wedeking Avenue) and is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. – 12 p.m. for donation drop-offs.

“This grant is truly a reflection of our great school corporation and community,” Barton said. “The outpouring support affirms that Hangers is truly making a difference in the lives of students. We would like to extend a big ‘Thank You’ to State Farm, our community and the EVSC family for their amazing support,” said Barton.
