No, they weren’t giving Porsches or money away Tuesday night on Lemmon Avenue. It just looked that way at Park Place Porsche as the 12th annual Park Place Dealerships – Dallas Stars Casino Night raised $200,000 for the Dallas Stars Foundation.

Among the 500 guests were the entire Stars team (including Hall of Famer Brett Hull, Marty Turco, Steve Ott, and Brad Richardson), Star celebrity couples (Willa and Mike Modano and Anne-Marie and Brenden Morrow), and the front office (including Stars President Jeff Cogen and GM Joe Nieuwendyk) plus VIP’s (Tom Hicks Jr. and Park Place Chairman Ken Schnitzer and Park Place Porsche GM Patrick Huston).
