🎰 Saturday Night: Black Tie Casino Royale Gala
Saturday evening brought high fashion and high stakes to the club. Everyone traded in their court gear for sharp tuxedos and elegant gowns for our Black Tie Casino Royale Night.
From passed gourmet appetizers to signature drinks and lively action at the gaming tables, the energy was electric. Players and guests tested their luck at the casino tables and exchanged their winning chips for raffle tickets to take home some unbelievable prizes.
💰 Impact & Amount Raised
Beyond the squash and the celebration, the heart of OBT is giving back. Thanks to ticket sales, casino re-buys, sponsorships, and raffle participation:
We are thrilled to announce that OBT 2026 raised a total of
$3,175.00!
100% of these proceeds will go directly toward supporting and subsidizing local High School and Junior Squash Programs right here in our community - helping introduce new young athletes to the game and keeping courts accessible for the next generation.
🗓️ Looking Ahead
Thank you all once again for making the 5th Annual OBT our best year yet. We are already looking forward to making next year even bigger and better!
Rest up, enjoy the off-court recovery, and we can’t wait to see you all back on the glass next year!
Cheers,
Jeff Wong & The OBT 2026 Committee
