Rowdy Night at the Races 2024



 

Join us on Saturday, May 4, for one of the Wright State Alumni Association's most anticipated events of the year —Rowdy night at the races! 

Rowdy Night at the Races is a horse racing themed casino night complete with gaming tables and two Rowdy horse races that can be bet on.  All "bets" are for raffle prize tickets, the more tickets you win, the more chance you have to win a prize!  Prizes from past years include big screen smart tv, apple watch, weekend getaways, etc.  "Derby" costumes and hats are encouraged and may be rewarded with extra chips or raffle tickets!

Attendees will receive two drink tickets that can be redeemed for soda, beer, wine, or liquor. In addition to great food, each attendee is given $25,000 in playing chips to enjoy a number of casino games such as blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, and more. Don't forget to bring your dancing shoes because our DJ will be handing out extra chips for your moves out on the dance floor!

At the end of the night, you will cash your winnings in for raffle tickets and take the chance at winning one of our awesome raffle prizes.

Rowdy night at the races is open to all Wright State alumni, retirees, faculty, staff, family, and friends!
