That drought inspired the Eleven Eleven Club to look outside its ranks for a complementary source of energy and a new motivation for its mission. The 2006 trip to Atlantic City was punctuated by a charity fundraiser.  The Club sold raffle tickets to supporters and attendees, who were awarded prizes donated by both individual contributors and organizations such as [[Directory:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]]. One half of the raffle proceeds plus the Wonder Bar's donation were set aside directly for the charity -- a [[Directory:Church of the Loving Shepherd|church]]-affiliated [http://www.campbournelyf.org/ summer camp] for children and teens with special needs. The other half of the raffle income was spirited off to Showboat Casino to be wagered on a roulette wheel at exactly 11:22 PM (after the Club’s dogmatic 11:11 PM bet). All of the winning proceeds from that bet would have been added to the "set aside" donation to the charitable organization.  The roulette area's pit boss was very much supportive of the club's ambition, and he even suspended action on the wheel for a couple of minutes prior to 11:11 PM, so that the club's bet could be assured correct timing.  But, alas, at the very moment of the spin, a wicked badger of a cocktail waitress ruined the night's karma by barging into the group and saying, "'''People, puh-lease, who ordered these Captain and Cokes?!'''", and both the 11:11 and the 11:22 bets were unprofitable.
