ROCCS Casino Night Fundraiser for Youth Rowing Set for October 10 in Inverness

The Rowing Organization of Citrus County Students (ROCCS) will host its annual Casino Night Fundraiser on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at The Depot Pavilion at Liberty Park in Inverness. This event, the largest fundraiser for the all-volunteer organization, begins at 6:30 PM and supports youth rowing programs in the community.

Residents attending the Casino Night can expect an evening filled with casino tables, a dinner buffet, drinks, and live music. The event also features Grand Prize raffles and a silent auction, which includes local donations. Every ticket, bid, and bet directly supports ROCCS rowers and the program's continued operation.

ROCCS operates as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to introducing crew rowing to local youth. Funds generated from the Casino Night cover essential program costs, including equipment purchases, boat maintenance, travel expenses for regattas, and coaching support. The organization also provides scholarships, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent young athletes from joining the team.

The annual Casino Night is crucial for ROCCS, as it enables the program to maintain its mission of fostering youth involvement in rowing. The proceeds directly contribute to the continuity and strength of the program for future generations of Citrus County athletes.
