Event Details

Meet John Spinello the inventor of the classic board game Operation!

Friday night includes a screening of OPERATION: Operation, craft cocktails, silent auction, and other surprises. OPERATION: Operation is a 28-minute documentary chronicling the classic American story of John Spinello, who after striking a raw deal to sell the patent to the game for $500 and forfeiting his rights to royalties, saw the game go on to sell 45 million copies. This is the story of how John’s broken heart was mended after learning that the game he invented has touched many more people, in many more ways than he ever could have imagined. John is now 82-years-old and although not biter was forced to sell his dream home and drive Uber. Let’s raise funds for a man who has given us so much joy. A portion of money raised will also benefit Family Network on Disabilities of Manasota (FND), a local non-profit organization that assists families of children with disabilities and special needs to go “from Heartache to Hope - One Family at a Time."

Limited VIP Tickets: $75 each, includes reserved seat, 2 drink tickets, and a signed copy of Operation
General Admission: $25 in advance, $35 at the door (cash bar)
