Oceanside, NY, February 26, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Tammy Marshall, RN, Executive Director of Maple Pointe Assisted Living in Rockville Centre, one of New York's foremost leaders in long-term care for seniors, is the honoree of South Nassau Communities Hospital's 4th Annual Casino Royale to be held Thursday, March 9, at the Coral House in Baldwin (NY).

Murphy. "She has gone above and beyond for our patients and has helped raise awareness and funds for the work we do. We appreciate her support."

Proceeds from the 4th Annual Casino Royale will support South Nassau's Emergency Department Expansion Campaign. The campaign is a five-year, $10 million fundraising initiative to help pay for a $60 million renovation of the Oceanside Emergency Department, serving all residents of the South Shore from Queens to Suffolk. The expansion project will nearly double the size of the Emergency Department, providing space to accommodate a projected 80,000 patient visits each year as well as establishing dedicated areas for behavioral health and pediatric emergencies.

Casino Night attendees will put their gambling savvy and instincts to the test at Vegas-style Black Jack, Craps, and Roulette tables, and "Top Hat Bingo," in which the bingo game winner receives a top hat filled with casino money and prizes. When they're not at the tables or beating the odds, attendees will be treated to choice cocktails, a delectable buffet and other gaming for great prizes, including premiere Mets tickets and a 48-inch "smart" television. Tickets for the event can still be purchased in advance for $100 per person, or $150 at the door, which includes a full buffet, drinks and $200 in play money.

Doors open at 6PM. To purchase tickets in advance or for more information, call 516-377-5360.
