Winona DAC’s 19th Annual Auction and Casino Night
Each year we host an Auction and Casino Night, and we are proud to announce that we are back at it getting ready for this year’s auction. All of the funds raised from this event are used to support the DAC and the individuals we serve. The event is hosted at Signature’s Vision Event Center in Winona and is open to the public. We encourage you to bring yourself and your friends out for a night of Blackjack*, Bingo*, a silent and live auction, drinks, wine raffle, and appetizers! Doors open at 5:00pm and the silent auction bidding starts immediately following. The live auction will begin at 6:45pm and the silent auction will start closing at the end of the live auction.
*Blackjack and bingo play are for entertainment purposes only. Everyone wanting to participate will receive the exact same amount of “funny money” to play blackjack with. If you lose your “funny money” we are sorry, but Minnesota state law does not allow for the purchase or donation of money for additional “funny money.”
Want to help?

If you would like to support the DAC by giving a monetary donation you can do so below, drop it off at the DAC, or send a check to the DAC with attention to Jenna at 1721 West Service Drive, Winona, MN 55987.
Attend the event! Tickets are $20.00 in advance and $25.00 at the door. You can purchase a ticket in advance by using the form selected below, emailing Jenna, or calling Jenna at the DAC.
