IN PICTURES: MARATHON BPW’S ‘KEYSINO’ BRINGS THE ROARING ’20S TO MARLIN BAY

Flappers, colorful suits and cigars descended on Marlin Bay Resort on Feb. 28 for the Marathon Business and Professional Women’s 2026 Keysino Night. 

Trying their luck at over a dozen gaming tables with professional casino staff from Casino Party Nights Florida, the Gatsby-themed revelers gambled the evening away in one of Marathon’s classiest annual fundraisers, cashing out at the end of the night for a chance to win high-dollar raffle prizes.

“The highlight was the venue – that was a big hit, and everyone loved the theme,” said event organizer Lorna Sanchez. “We were excited to see everyone jump in and embrace it.

Estimated proceeds from the evening totaled $10,000 to support BPW’s Stacy Kidwell Memorial Scholarship, awarded each year to a Marathon High School senior, along with adult scholarships for women furthering their education and other local charitable initiatives.
