FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Vivian Allen whose son First Lieutenant Louis Allen of the National Guard was killed in Iraq, was on hand to thank Ray McCarthy, spokesperson for the Sullivan County Airport Festival, for organizing a fundraiser on behalf of Mid-Hudson families of Iraqi Soldiers killed in Iraq. The King and Queen Night held Sunday, September 30th at Monticello Gaming and Raceway and Bally’s raised over $17,000 for eighteen Mid-Hudson families. “Mrs. Allen’s family has made several trips to North Carolina to attend a trial concerning her son’s death,” comments Mr. McCarthy. “Hopefully these funds will help her cover some of the travel expenses she must incur in order to be present,” he adds.

GIVE TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO GAVE ALL

King and Queen Gala Night at Monticello Gaming and Raceway to benefit the Mid-Hudson Families of Soldiers Killed in Iraq

According to Ray McCarthy, organizer of the event, “the evening of games does not involve gambling. Gaming Tables and non-value gaming chips will be used for a number of games. The man and woman with the greatest number of chips at the end of the evening will be crowned King and Queen.” The King and Queen will draw the first, second and third place winners of raffle prizes totaling over $5000 in gaming vouchers donated by Bally’s for use at the gambling facility. Bally’s is also donating $20 in gaming vouchers to each of the first 125 guests to arrive at the fundraiser. An appetizer buffet and cash bar is included.
