The cards were dealt and the energy in the room was electric as supporters gathered for the second annual Night at the Casino benefiting the Yellow Bear Foundation. The evening was a celebration of community, generosity, and the growing momentum behind our mission to create a brighter tomorrow for those impacted by primary immunodeficiency.


Throughout the evening, we enjoyed casino-style games, live entertainment from Bluewater Kings Band, hand-rolled cigars, food and drinks, and the opportunity to network and connect with our friends and supporters. More than just a night of fun, the event served as a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together around a common purpose.


We are so excited to announce that we have established a partnership with Seeded Health, which will serve as our immunology partner. This marks an important step forward in continuing to expand awareness, education, and access to specialized immunology resources for the patients and families we serve. Guests also had the opportunity to hear from Ashley Lynn, PhD(c), MSN, APRN, NP-C who is the Advanced Family Nurse Practitioner who heads up Seeded Health. More about this exciting collaboration will be unveiled soon!


Check out this video recap of the night:



The success of this event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors Night at the Casino sponsors: LUX Infusion, Patty Fleming, Centre State International Trucks, Inc., Hoerr Nursery, Venue Chisca, Bank of Farmington, and Greg Batton. We would also like to recognize Greg for serving as emcee for the evening.


We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Connor Co., The Legacy of Thomas E. Fleming, and Fleming Electric as well as all of our wonderful annual sponsors, whose ongoing commitment supports our immunology initiatives year-round and helps make our mission possible. Their partnership contributes directly to creating a brighter tomorrow for individuals and families affected by primary immunodeficiency.


Here are a few fun highlights from the roaming photo booth!



As we close the book on another successful Night at the Casino, we are filled with gratitude for the community that continues to stand beside us. To every attendee, volunteer, donor, and supporter who joined us: thank you. Your participation helps fuel programs and initiatives that directly impact our community and strengthen our ability to serve those who need us most. Together, we are building awareness, expanding access to care, and creating lasting impact for those affected by primary immunodeficiency.
