PLANTATION, Fla.—October 22, 2024—Northstar Financial Planners, a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor in Plantation, proudly sponsored the eighth annual Local 1403 Casino Night and Poker Tournament.

Held October 18 in Miami, the event benefited the Dade County Association of Firefighter Charities, Inc. It featured Latin-flavored foods and desserts, casino games, and music by The Cuban Trio Band—all in support of vital services for local firefighters, paramedics, and dispatchers. Proceeds will help provide important resources, such as support for firefighters dealing with PTSD, as well as ongoing care for the firefighting community.

“We were honored to support the brave men and women who serve as firefighters in our communities,” said Allen Giese, President, CEO, and Senior Financial Advisor at Northstar Financial Planners. “The challenges they face, both on and off the job, require resources and care, and it’s our privilege to contribute to this cause.”

The Dade County Association of Firefighter Charities (Local 1403) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to area firefighters and their families. The charity helps with various needs, including assistance during times of hardship.

This year’s Casino Night marks the second time this year that Northstar has sponsored for the charity. In April, the firm sponsored the fifth annual Autism Bike Ride.

Northstar provides retirement planning services for firefighters and other Special Risk employees under the Florida Retirement System. The firm is dedicated to helping first responders understand how to make their benefits work for them and retire with confidence.

Reflecting on the event, Giese added: “Casino Night was not only a fantastic evening of fun, but it also reinforced the importance of community. By coming together, we can make a real difference in the lives of first responders and their families.”
