Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Donates Over $8,500 to Unity House

Schenectady, NY (May 14, 2026) – Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady presented a check in the amount of $8,575.88 to Unity House of Troy, NY in support of the organization’s mission to provide services and advocacy for individuals and families facing a wide range of life challenges.

 The donation was raised through the casino’s monthly Rivers Gives: Donations Make a Difference fundraiser, in which casino guests donate their chips, uncashed vouchers, and cash to support local nonprofit organizations and charitable causes throughout the Capital Region.

 Unity House is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people living in poverty, adults with mental illness, victims of domestic violence, children with developmental delays and their families, people living with HIV/AIDS, and others whose needs can effectively be met through Unity House services and philosophy. Through direct services, advocacy, education, and collaboration, Unity House works to create awareness and advance social justice while helping individuals identify their strengths, access resources, and build brighter futures.

“At Rivers Casino, we're proud to support organizations that make such a meaningful difference in the lives of people throughout our community,” said Anna Boyd, Vice President of Human Resources at Rivers Casino. “We hope this donation will help further support Unity House’s overall mission, as well as its ongoing efforts to rebuild the Kathryn Allen Center for Domestic and Sexual Violence Services following the devastating fire earlier this year. We are honored that our guests continue to support important causes like this through our Donations Make a Difference program.”
