I was flattered and honored to be invited to this year‘s Strength n’ Love Celebrity Casino Night to raise funds for the Turning Point organization which helps and assists victims of domestic abuse to get out of such relationships and assist them in the process of healing. It was a beautiful venue at Woodstone Country Club in PA hosted by the lovely Lisa Marie Meszler. I’m proud to have been part of an event that fund raised for such an important and worthy cause.

I raise money for charities for a living & I have to say the Strength & Love charity event I just helped raise money for it was a phenomenal event and put together so well. It touched me that they had so many givers at the gambling gala for such a worthy cause.

Walking into the strength n love event, it’s immediately clear the passion Lisa has for this important cause as well as her community. It’s no surprise that the event was an enormous success, fueled by the love in that room. It’s also no surprise that the event continues to grow, drawing attendees from far and wide. It was such a pleasure to be part of something that helps provide support and services for those deeply impacted by domestic violence.

Being part of a charity fundraiser has always been rewarding, but I never expected to have as much fun as I did at Lisa Meszler’s  Strength ‘n Love Celebrity Casino Night at the Woodstone Country Club. The event had the feel of an actual casino. The food was excellent as were the cocktails. The attendees mingled with actors & athletes as a live band performed. Lisa was the perfect host of this event and I thank her for inviting me to participate in such a worthy cause

The Strength ‘n Love Classic had an event for Turning Point of Lehigh Valley on 9/26. It was a beautiful event to help end domestic abuse. The work that Lisa and her team put into this event was incredible. There was silent auction and delicious food. The Photo Booth was great too. I had a great time.

The Strength ‘n Love Casino Night was a great event to be a part of, while also supporting an important cause. The survivor stories that were shared were sobering and left an impact on all who were in attendance. Domestic violence is a dark reality and the stories brought crucial awareness to it, while the casino games and auctions with the celebrities provided an evening of fun and laughter. Our team had a wonderful time and we are grateful for Lisa and everyone who contributed to make this event an unforgettable evening.

The inaugural casino night was definitely a hit! The event was well attended, entertainment was on point and the games tables were packed! Surprising amount of silent auction and raffle prizes made it easy for everyone to want to bid and a lot of people leave with prizes. All of this for a great cause. We ended up staying late into the night because the vibes were that good!

Participating in the 2024 Strength and Love Classic was a rewarding experience that filled me with hope and optimism. The strength displayed by survivors sharing their journeys was remarkable and the amazing community partners that attended the event helped raise my and other attendees awareness of the signs of domestic violence and how we, as a community, can help one another.

In addition to the education, the night was filled with fun, games, auctions, and raffles in support of Turning Point Lehigh Valley. It was a true honor to be part of and I hope to be asked back for each subsequent Strength and Love Classic!

I was honored to be a part of the Strength ‘n Love Classic this year and couldn’t have had a better time. Hearing moving stories and meeting people throughout the festivities not only provided a fun-filled time, but also one that was inspirational. Great live music, great games, for a great cause with great people – both the attendees and staff of the beautiful Woodstone Country Club. ‘Twas a fun bonus getting to know other entertainment industry professionals and athletes.

The Strength ‘n Love Classic, that Lisa and her team put together, was a success with the mission of bringing awareness and support to those having experienced domestic abuse. The unique and welcoming atmosphere brought a bit of spirit and joy in an otherwise sobering reality. Whether the cause hits home or not, I’d encourage others to partake in the next event to further support those in need.

What an amazing opportunity! Strength ‘n Love’s cause holds a special place in my experience and in my stories – it is so important to educate on how to respect each other in relationships, to prevent toxicity and abuse, to overcome and offer safe haven, and empower and heal those that are affected in these situations. Lisa and her amazing team did a fantastic job putting it all together, successfully raising awareness (and funds!) for this notable cause in a way that made it fun for everyone. Great games, food, music and mingling. I feel so blessed to have hosted this event alongside my peers in the entertainment industry, and to meet such great people attending! At Lisa’s events, we all win!

I had the amazing honor of meeting Lisa Marie Meszler at the event we helped her organize in September. At first, when she called me looking for Casino services I was actually traveling with some of my crew. On our way back from an event we did in Delaware. She spoke to me about the different things she wanted to have, different expectations and mainly the reason why they were doing the event. While she was telling me about the turning point organization, I was literally given chills, as well as the four women that were in the car with me. Mainly because we were all survivors of domestic violence. I don’t know if you want to call it fate or coincidence or just just because… but I found it extremely coincidental that myself and the women in my car, who worked for me, all have experienced domestic violence at some point in our lives, and we all had tattoos almost identical to her strength and love emblem, which stands for strength and loving yourself at the worst times. We instantly booked her event, which was going to be nearly a year later. I didn’t only gain a client but I gained a friend. Her event ended up being extremely successful and I would do it again anytime she would need me to! Thank you again so much, Lisa. we will see you again come 2025!! ❤️🖤

My time at the Strength ‘n Love Celebrity Golf Tournament will go down as a highlight from 2023. It was filled with familiar faces, great food, and most of all support for a great cause. While there are other charity events throughout the year, the real difference of Strength ‘n Love comes down to the people. The celebrities felt more like old friends, the participants clearly share a positive vision for the future, and the Woodstone staff practice an excellent attention to detail. Furthermore, it all comes as no surprise knowing host and founder of the event Lisa Meszler because of the quality of her network and longtime supporters. I am personally bookmarking this event for next year and anyone reading this should too.

This was my first time playing in the Strength ‘n Love Golf Tournament. I have to admit I was skeptical to pay the large dollar amount for a scramble especially at a country club I am already a member at, but I have to say the experience was absolutely fantastic and worth the price of admission. The tournament was very well organized and well run. Everyone was friendly and the golfers/guests were generous for such a great cause. There was a lot of Love at the Strength ‘n Love Tournament. Will be back next year!

I had an incredible time with lisa’s golf event last year. Not only did she manage to put together a wonderful group of talent, she fully utilized the Woodstone Country Club to its maximum potential. It is such a great place to come together with good people & the course itself is beautiful. Lisa put on a great party for a great cause & I know it will continue to have a positive impact on the lives of the domestic abuse survivors she touches with her Movement.

Many have stated that charity begins at home. Well, I grew up in New Jersey across the bridge from Philadelphia and that’s close enough. I was invited to the Strength ‘n Love Golf Event 2023. And, I plan to support this worthy cause annually. Please donate and join me next year!

As a former Phillies baseball player, I was invited to participate as a celebrity guest at the 8/20-21 Strength & Love Golf tournament. It was held at the beautiful Wood Stone Lodge & Country Club in Danielsville, PA. I want to give a ” shout out” to Co-Founder Lisa & her staff for the very successful ” Meet & Greet” & Golf, two-day event. The occasion benefitted the Turning Point of Lehigh Valley, an organization combatting domestic abuse.
I’ve participated in many similar events but must say that “this was one of the best, a very professional endeavor”. Put me down for next year’s Celebrity Golf Tournament!!
