Caesars Entertainment, Inc., the largest casino-entertainment company in the U.S., has announced a $3.1 million donation to numerous national and local non-profit organizations through its corporate giving platform, the Caesars Foundation. This year’s grant continues support for established partners such as Boys & Girls Clubs of America and introduces a new collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation, reflecting the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability through strategic tree planting initiatives in forests and neighbourhoods with the greatest need.
In conjunction with the Foundation’s grant, Caesars Entertainment is also marking a significant $1 million contribution to Boys & Girls Clubs of America via its Caesars Makes Change program. Of this amount, $827,110 will support the national program, with the remaining funds benefiting local clubs. The Caesars Makes Change program, launched in May 2022, is operational in over 40 locations across the company’s gaming portfolio, allowing casino guests to donate a portion of their cash payouts to charitable organizations when redeeming their slot tickets.
Moreover, on July 31, Caesars Entertainment executives visited a Boys & Girls Club in Southern Nevada to present donations from the Caesars Makes Change program and the Caesars Foundation. They also volunteered with Club members, reinforcing the company’s role as an official back-to-school partner of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This partnership includes coordinating volunteer opportunities for team members and hosting school supply drives and fundraisers to equip Club kids for a successful academic year.
“We’ve always believed that we are better together, and the Caesars Makes Change program is a testament to that,” said Anthony Carano, President & COO of Caesars Entertainment. “Through the generosity of our guests, we were able to not only provide our Foundation grant to Boys & Girls Clubs of America this year, but we were also able to provide additional funds raised by our patrons, allowing Boys & Girls Clubs to continue to provide invaluable resources in communities across the country. We’re proud to offer the Caesars Makes Change program in our casinos nationwide to provide resources to organizations in the communities where we live, work and play.”
“Caesars’ generosity has enhanced our ability to impact the lives of countless young people, fostering their growth and potential,” said Andy Bischel, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. “Their commitment to our mission enables us to continue to offer life-changing opportunities to our members, setting them on a path to a Great Future!”
