On a starry night of September 13, 2025, the REFORM Alliance Casino Night & Gala at Atlantic City's Ocean Casino Resort turned into a dazzling money-making machine! The big headline? New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft stirred up a bidding war by dropping a jaw-dropping $900,000 to golf with football legend Tom Brady. The prize was a day at Michael Jordan’s super-exclusive Grove XXIII golf course in Florida – the dream of many golf lovers! The auction frenzy was electrified when another guest matched Kraft’s massive bid. Brady, who joined the event via Zoom with a smiling face, made the night even sweeter by deciding both bidders would win the golf day. This smart move doubled the winning amount to a whopping $1.8 million for charity! But wait, the fun didn’t stop there! A private concert by Megan Thee Stallion soared to $600,000, while a striking painting by George Condo was snapped up for $3.4 million by Michael Rubin. Jay-Z’s special Audemars Piguet watch was also a hot item. The crowd was treated to a thrilling blackjack tournament and a star-studded 40-minute performance by The Weeknd. Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Michael Rubin, and Robert Kraft, the powerful co-founders of REFORM Alliance, hosted the night. Their mission? Changing tough probation and parole laws across the U.S. to help people rebuild their lives. With 53 helicopter trips zipping celebrities to Atlantic City and the casino itself giving a $1 million donation, the sparkle was everywhere. Tom Brady’s words summed it up well: "If it’s for a good cause, I’m always in." By the end of the glitzy evening, more than $20 million had been raised! These funds will support the ‘Work Matters’ program by REFORM, aiming to open real job opportunities for people with criminal records—it’s a giant leap towards brighter futures. This night will be remembered as one of the biggest and most exciting charity events yet!
