Ice & Dice Casino Night: The Signature Event of the Panthers Foundation

Preparations Being Finalized For Feb. 1 Event

SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers Foundation is readying itself for Wednesday, Feb. 1, when the Ice & Dice Florida Panthers Casino Night presented by Stanford Group Company – the centerpiece of the Foundation's fundraising initiatives – comes to the BankAtlantic Center.

"The Ice & Dice Casino Night will be the highlight of our fundraising initiatives this year and promises to be a night to remember for those in attendance," said Vice President of Community Development Randy Moller. "We're going to feature a great assortment of casino games, a plethora of high-end auction items, a wonderful dinner spread and to top it off – it will all take place on the ice."

In addition to presenting sponsor Stanford Group Company, co-presenters for the Ice & Dice Casino Night include Lexus, BankAtlantic, Sziro Jewelry and the Sun-Sentinel.

With Florida Panthers players working as dealers, the Foundation anticipates a large crowd for an over the top Las Vegas-style, five-star evening which fans can't afford to miss. Guests will also be able to take part in on-ice activities, games and contests while Panthers general manager Mike Keenan and his wife Nola serve as honorary chairs of the event. The entire Panthers family – including players and their wives or girlfriends – will make the BankAtlantic Center a full house on Feb. 1.

The silent auction presented by Millenium Laser Eye Centers will include custom made jewelry from Sziro Jewelry, a baby grand piano from Ivan's Keyboard Collection, a seven day oceanfront cabin cruise from MSC Cruises, a closet makeover from Armadi Closets, a high-end poker table from Billiard Tables and More, a Wayne Gretzky serigraph from The Art Marketplace, a golf membership from Palm Aire, a year of dry cleaning from Dryclean USA, tickets on Spirit Airlines, a new garage system from Housewall Garage Systems, a seven day cruise from Norwegian Cruise Lines, autographed sports memorabilia from the Panthers and other local sports teams and much, much more.
