Bet on Hope
2026

Bet on Hope returns bigger and bolder for 2026 — bringing the excitement of Las Vegas right to Jackson County! Inspired by the vibrant energy of the New York-New York Casino, this year’s gala transforms the Commerce Civic Center into a dazzling night of lights, games, and giving — all to support Jackson County Habitat for Humanity.

Guests will experience new games, new experiences, and more chips to play, with entertainment and surprises around every corner. Try your luck at classic casino favorites like blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker — or check out this year’s exciting additions, including a Prize Wheel and a lively Bingo lounge for guests who prefer something a little more laid-back.

Before the casino doors open, guests are invited to arrive early for the Ante Up Social Hour — a vibrant pre-gala experience featuring live performers, interactive brand showcases, and the crowd-favorite Human Slot Machine. Capture memories at the graffiti-style guest book wall, enjoy signature themed cocktails and mocktails, and mingle with fellow guests as the night’s energy builds.

Once inside the casino, guests can explore immersive photo opportunities, bid in both silent and live auctions, and enjoy New York–inspired dishes like pizza, hotdogs, and pasta. Throughout the night, live entertainment and hands-on experiences create an atmosphere that feels straight from the Vegas strip — but every dollar raised stays right here in our community.

Every spin, bid, and photo at Bet on Hope 2026 helps support Jackson County Habitat for Humanity's mission of putting God's love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope... making this night of fun and philanthropy truly unforgettable.
