The audience was amazed at the exceptional and exquisite Gala and the decorations for the special night were glamorous like the most captivating casinos in the world. The tables kept the guests entertained and amused with blackjack, roulette, poker and more, just like a Las Vegas style experience.

The Casino Royale Gala also had a captivating live auction that ranged from a chauffeured trip to Fredericksburg to a gorgeous stay at the paradise “Villa  Provence” in France in the colorful countryside enjoying fine wine and some of the best food in the world. The Gold gala encouraged in honor of “Going Gold” for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month where the gold ribbon is the international symbol for childhood cancer awareness. The event also had a DJ, games, prizes, splendid selection of food (self-serve), a fun psychic, and more. The occasion was in fact very enjoyable and gave inspiring support to the Jaquelyn Sky Foundation which assists families who have a child with cancer. The most important priority of the Jaquelyn Sky Foundation is to provide funding for expenses of families whose children are fighting cancer, such as housing near the treatment center and support the financial and emotional needs of families directly impacted by cancer. Every day, approximately 36 children are diagnosed with cancer. Pediatric cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease in children and the incidence of invasive cancer in children is up 29% in the last 20 years.

About Jaquelyn Sky Foundation

“Jaquelyn Sky was an 8th grader when she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). After 15 months of aggressive chemotherapy, she unexpectedly relapsed. Cancer came back more aggressive. Jacquelyn’s doctors at Texas Children’s Hospital tried desperately to get her back into remission so she could receive a life-saving bone marrow transplant, but the cancer was not responding to treatment. On October 5, 2013, our 15-year-old Warrior Princess did receive complete healing as she victoriously ran across the finish line of her earthly life and entered eternity with her Lord Jesus. She fought her entire fight with dignity, beauty, and perseverance to the end. She finished her race and kept her faith (2Tim. 4:7). We are so proud of her. Jaquelyn always wanted to be involved in promoting childhood cancer awareness. She had a heart for the children fighting her same fight and always prayed for a cure for childhood cancer. This foundation was created in loving memory of our firstborn daughter, Jacquelyn Sky Jenkins, in her honor & to carry on her legacy. We are carrying on her fight by helping kids directly affected by this “monster” called cancer!
