Rivers Gives - Rivers Casino Des Plaines

ABOUT RIVERS GIVES

Rivers Casino and Rush Street Gaming have a longstanding history of supporting the communities in which we operate. We have branded this ongoing initiative as ‘Rivers Gives.’

The key pillars of Rivers Gives are volunteerism, board service, donation drives, in-kind contributions and corporate giving.

Through Rivers Gives, each Rivers Casino annually contributes approximately 2,000 volunteer hours per property to local nonprofit partners. Across their operating markets, Rivers Casino and Rush Street Gaming annually contribute approximately $14 million to local nonprofit partners and various community groups.
