The National Foster Care Fund was founded in 2004 to reduce the numbers of children in the foster care system, improve the conditions and mechanisms for support of “at risk” families, and assist foster youth in “aging out” of the system to become self-sufficient, contributing members of their communities. DJ Kelly Cole kept the momentum going after the show from The Accelerators with tunes that had guests on their feet dancing until the close of the party. Willis and his band next delivered an hour-long performance that included crowd favorites “La Grange” and “Little Wing.”ĭuring the event, guests were encouraged to try their luck at blackjack tables staffed by Casino Morongo dealers while nibbling on refreshments of chicken saté and mini-hamburgers. Lyons welcomed guests to the event and introduced the new resort with a computer-generated animation video of the new property. “We congratulate Bruce Willis for the work he has done for the cause and are honored to contribute to his efforts to build a better future for our nation’s children.”

“The Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa is delighted to make a donation to the National Foster Care Fund,” says Davis.

Bill Davis, Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa general manager, recognized Willis with a personalized leather set of poker chips. Morongo tribal chairman Maurice Lyons presented Willis with an $85,000 chip and praised his efforts in raising awareness of the more than 580,000 children in foster care. Willis accepted a $85,000 donation from the Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa to benefit his charity, the National Foster Care Fund before performing with his band, The Accelerators to an audience of over 500 celebrities, Morongo tribal council members and invited guests. The new hotel and casino is slated to open December, 2004.
