PLAINS, Plains Township — A casino night to fight childhood cancer took place in Luzerne County Saturday night.
The Holiday Inn in Plains Township played host to the event, benefitting Little Eric's Foundation.
Blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, and horse racing, as well as door prizes and raffle prizes, were among the festivities.
"Little Eric's Foundation is named after my son Eric Jr. who passed away in 2013 from a pediatric brain tumor. We started the foundation shortly thereafter, and we use these fundraisers as a means to be able to give back to research and help local kids with donations with their own cancer battles," said Eric Speicher, Vice President of Little Eric's Foundation.
Little Eric's Foundation works to raise money to help fund research, awareness efforts, and help families battling childhood cancer.
