Girls Inc. Red on the River Casino Night Returns in August
The mission of Girls Inc. is one that is near and dear to my heart. I proudly serve on the board in Owensboro-Daviess County and see firsthand how this organization is committed to educating and inspiring girls to be strong, smart, and bold right here at home.
A Safe Place to Grow
Every month at our meeting, we have a mission moment where an amazing girl shares her story with us. Sometimes, through a shaky or soft-spoken voice filled with nerves. However, every month, the girls themselves boldly remind us why it is SO important to make sure they have a safe place to grow. Girls Inc of Owensboro has an incredible impact on them and their futures.
Girls Inc. Red on the River Casino Night 2026
On August 15th, Girls Inc. of Owensboro-Daviess County is hosting our annual Red on the River event at the Riverpark Center downtown. I'd like to personally invite you to "Go All In" for the ladies and join us for a great evening. Last year was a total blast! We gotta do it again!
As always, there will be food as beautiful as it is delicious served up by Maria Kelly of Nona's Catering. A true artist when it comes to a spread!
We will have wonderful and unique Silent Auction items, so you are sure to take home a deal or two. Some unique artwork, concert tickets, and treasures you won't find anywhere else!
Will Girls Inc. Red on the River Casino Night Be a Blast?
You can bet the house on it! (I think that means an astounding YES, right?) I'll be emceeing the evening with my gal pal, the hilarious showstopper Becca McQueen-Ruark.
You never know what kind of fun we will get into! With a great live DJ, live painting, signature drinks, and all the casino table games you can wish for!
If you are REALLY lucky, you may be able to get access to the VIP High Roller Room.
