CharityWorks Monopoly Night
Monopoly Night, the annual fundraiser for CharityWorks, an organization that helps those who help others, has been providing
purchasing advisory services to benefit charitable and educational nonprofit organizations since 1996. The event is centered on
competitive games of Monopoly with large prizes for those who end up with the most play money at the end of the evening, which
follows dinner at the Belleair Country Club. When you land on “Go to Jail” in this game, you are sent to a jail where you are served
chocolates and champagne. Bay News 9’s Veronica Cintron served as the benefit’s mistress of ceremonies.
