Reporting
(CBS 5) SAN JOSE Casino action is a popular way to raise big money for charities. Just ask the folks who put on a recent casino night in San Jose.
It was a huge benefit for EHC Lifebuilders - a non-profit that shelters the homeless.
'It raised about 40-thousand dollars last year,' said Hilary Barroga of EHC Lifepartners. She says it not only raised money for the program, but people had fun doing it. 'Poker is the in fun thing right now, and we wanted to capture what people were into, and bring a new demographic into our donor base.'
