AISC Casino Fundraiser!

 

The AISC's next fundraising casino will be held on October 30 and 31, 2025 at Starlight Casino in Edmonton! These fundraisers are crucial to the AISC's financial sustainability of the organization. Volunteers working more than one shift must hold the same position and are required to have a government-issued ID with them during the event.

 

Please email execdirector@abinvasives.ca with the date and times you are available to help out! The AISC is able to cover your meal during your shift, as well as reimburse gas and hotel expenses for those traveling from out of town!
