A $100 ticket buys casino games, hors d'oeuvres and a chance to support Delaware County's primary aging-services provider when SourcePoint hosts its annual Speakeasy fundraiser on Sept. 17, at Bridgewater Banquet Center, 10561 Sawmill Road in Powell.

The 1920s-themed evening includes two drink tickets, casino cash, nostalgic music and lounge spaces for mingling. Prohibition-era attire is encouraged but not required.

"Every ticket purchased, auction bid placed, and donation made helps strengthen our community," board president Pamela Foster said in an announcement published in the Delaware Gazette.

Proceeds go directly to SourcePoint's programs for Delaware County adults 55 and older, including Meals on Wheels, in-home care and caregiver support. The nonprofit supports thousands of older adults each year, with more than 60,000 volunteer hours contributed annually to deliver meals and run enrichment activities across the county, including in Powell, Lewis Center and Liberty Township.

In May, CEO Fara Waugh called older adults "the backbone of our community" during Delaware County's Older Americans Month proclamation.

SourcePoint was founded in 1992 and is funded primarily through a countywide senior services levy that voters last renewed in 2022 by a record number of voters. In November 2025, the nonprofit also received $12,500 in grants from the Delaware County Foundation to bolster its meal programs and emergency preparedness.

This year's silent auction will run online through ReadySetAuction. Bidders, including those who cannot attend in person, must create a ReadySetAuction account before participating. Auction package details and a bidding schedule will be posted at MySourcePoint.org/speakeasy.

Ticket sales opened Aug. 3. Tickets can be purchased online at MySourcePoint.org/speakeasy, by phone at 740-363-6677 or in person at SourcePoint's office at 800 Cheshire Road in Delaware.
