The Johns Creek Business Association (JCBA) has announced plans for its inaugural Casino Mardi Gras Night, 6:30 p.m., September 19, at The Country Club of the South. The event will feature 12 casino game tables, a buffet dinner and DJ. All proceeds will benefit the JCBA Scholarship Fund, which has awarded almost $25,000 in scholarships to high school and college students, and business professionals.

Table sponsorships and tickets are available at JohnsCreekBA.com or by contacting the JCBA Administrator at This email address is being protected from spambots.

"This is a great opportunity to spend a fun night out with the community while raising funds to provide college scholarships," says 2014 JCBA Casino Night Chairman Denise Wagner. "Given the rate at which the cost of college tuition has accelerated over the past five years, we really want to push to exceed our previous years' goals."
