Halloween Casino Night Is A
Grand Slam For Elev8Hope

By Jackie Holfelder
An amazing relationship was in the cards when Eva Rivera-
Allmacher and Rinamarie Shpiruk met several years ago.
Eva and her husband Jerry Allmacher are the owners of
Bin Deals, and they were the “real” deal at the Boos and
Booze Casino Night that benefited Elev8Hope and Ms. Rina’s
House of Blessings, the 501(c)(3)s founded by Rinamarie
Shpiruk and her four children.
Thanks to the couple’s love and dedication – and a
stunning $50,000 donation – the festive fundraiser raised Lindsey Blackwell, Nely Castro, Kyla
close to $200,000. McAuliffe, Chelsia Tiger and Rinamarie Daniel and Paula Bongino with Jerry Allmacher and Eva Rivera-
Although they were grand sponsors of the evening, Eva Shpiruk Rinamarie Shpiruk Allmacher
Rivera-Allmacher and Jerry Allmacher have been there for
the nonprofits for years. They have donated $75,000-plus to
Ms. Rina’s House of Blessings, helping to get the doors to the
building opened.
More than 300 attendees partied at the Rockin’ H Ranch
in Palm City, playing Vegas-style casino games and enjoying
fabulous food from the one and only Michaelina’s.
The mission of Elev8Hope is to provide support and
hope to struggling families with children. Elev8Hope works
to positively impact the community of Martin County by
connecting with individuals and families struggling to meet
the most basic requirements of daily living.
Ms. Rina’s House of Blessings provides transitional
housing for students and their families in crisis in Martin
County.
