STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (June 9, 2023)– The public is invited to join in the fun when the Young Professionals Network (YPN) of the Staten Island Board of Realtors® (SIBOR) presents its Casino Night featuring recording artist, actress and entertainer Judy Torres, the legendary “Queen of Freestyle.”

The event is set for Thursday, June 22, at Ariana’s South; 60 South Bridge Street, Richmond Valley. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Torres, additionally known for her popularity as a NY WKTU (103.5 FM) radio host, has a singing career spanning over three decades. She has performed in such world-famous arenas as Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden, and has shared stages with an array of musical icons, such as Gladys Knight, Lionel Richie, Tito Puente, Jerry Rivera, Deborah Cox and Taylor Dayne.

Attendees of the Staten Island Board of Realtors® YPN Casino Night on June 22 will experience a live performance that evening by “Queen of Freestyle” Judy Torres, a legendary recording artist who has entertained audiences in such world-famous arenas as Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden.

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit the Staten Island Giving Circle’s “Weekend Food Backpack Program,” which provides food to underserved students who experience food scarcity on weekends, holidays, snow days and vacations when the school cafeterias are closed. The backpacks – typically filled with beans, rice, pasta, sauce, cereal, granola bars, canned fruit, and more – are given to the students at the close of school on Friday afternoons; the backpacks are returned on Monday and the cycle continues.

“We are particularly delighted to have Judy Torres as our event’s headliner,” said Nicholas Scalici of Movement Mortgage, YPN chair. “Casino Night 2023 will raise the curtain on the summer season with an evening of fun, along with fundraising for a worthy local cause. We look forward to sharing a great time with our colleagues and fellow Staten Islanders.”

In addition to the Torres performance and gaming opportunities, the event will include an array of entertaining features, such as a cocktail hour; open bar and buffet; casino-play dollars to get attendees started; a DJ; Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley impersonators; cigar rolling; a magician; raffle prizes, and dancing.
