Celebrity Fundraiser at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City
Jay Z hosted a star-studded fundraiser at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City over the weekend. The event, organized by the Reform Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming probation and parole, attracted A-list celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, and Matthew McConaughey. The evening featured a casino-themed atmosphere, including a high-stakes blackjack tournament and live music. The auction at the fundraiser led to a bidding war between Kardashian and Brady over a painting by George Condo.
According to reports, the bidding for the art piece reached over $2 million. To resolve the conflict, Condo offered another artwork, making both Kardashian and Brady winners.
Media outlets have also reported on the interaction between Kardashian and Brady, with Kardashian expressing her admiration for the NFL legend.
Fundraising Success
The Reform Alliance fundraiser at Ocean Casino Resort was a tremendous success, raising over $24 million. The event, cohosted by Jay Z, Meek Mill, and Michael Rubin, attracted numerous other celebrities, including Tiffany Hadish, Jack Harlow, Alex Rodriguez, Quavo, and La La Anthony.
Reform Alliance founder and CEO Robert Rooks thanked the audience for their support, highlighting the importance of criminal justice reform. The funds raised will enable the organization to continue lobbying for legislative changes to parole and probation programs.
Meek Mill, one of the cohosts, has a personal connection to the cause, as he himself was wrongly imprisoned. The Reform Alliance aims to ensure that others do not suffer the same injustice.
Thanks to the efforts of the Reform Alliance, Assembly Bill 1950 was passed in California, reducing probation and parole terms for non-violent offenders.
Ocean Casino’s Turnaround
Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City has experienced a significant financial turnaround since its acquisition by Luxor Capital. The casino, which previously struggled under different ownership, reported the best gross operating profit in Atlantic City among the nine casinos.
Under Luxor Capital’s management, Ocean Casino Resort has become a leading destination for entertainment, gaming, and fundraising events.
The success of Ocean Casino Resort underscores both its commitment to providing a world-class experience and the support it offers to important charitable causes like the Reform Alliance.
