Rivers Casino 2022 Community Impact

Linda Waters, Vice President of Human Resources

2022 was another fantastic year for Rivers Gives! Rivers Casino donated over $238,000 in goods, services, and financial donations to more than 50 local charitable and community organizations. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, the community and our Team Members, we raised $84,000 through our in-house and community fundraising events, and our Rivers Gives volunteers logged 1,000 hours of service to local charitable groups.

Throughout the holiday season, we gave food to essential workers, homeless shelters and other organizations to help in the fight against hunger and, through our Giving Tree program, provided essential items to homeless youths. Rivers guests also donated over $71,000 worth of chips, vouchers and cash during our monthly Donations Make a Difference fundraisers, and they helped in the fight against breast cancer during our PINKtober campaign.

We’re truly fortunate to live and work in a community that shares our vision for giving and always steps up to help those in need, all while providing our guests with the very best in gaming and entertainment.

WE FOUGHT HUNGER

We donated $53,000 worth of food to essential workers and several local charitable organizations. Our annual Turkey Giveaway resulted in 315 turkeys donated for the holidays.

WE FOUGHT FOR THE UNHOUSED

For many people, the holidays can be a very difficult time. Rivers Casino & Resort helps bring the joy of the holidays to kids and families each year through our Giving Tree program.

Team Members fulfilled 122 tags that included two or more essential items from our Giving Tree (including clothing, diapers, toiletries, and more) to support our friends at Safe Inc. of Schenectady - an organization that provides outreach, shelter, counseling, and supportive services to homeless youth who are at-risk and may be vulnerable to or have been subjected to exploitation and trafficking.

A CULTURE OF GIVING – THANK YOU TO OUR GUESTS

Our guests raised over $71,000 by participating in our monthly Donations Make a Difference fundraiser by donating chips, vouchers and cash in our donation boxes and ticket redemption machines. Guests also helped raise funds during our PINKtober campaign that supports Breast Cancer research and treatment.
