Saratoga Casino Hotel has kicked off its 30 Days of Giving campaign, committed to donating some $100,000 to 38 local and regional non-profit organizations in Saratoga and Warren counties.
\nThrough Dec. 22, team members from Saratoga Casino Hotel will help to fill local food pantries, purchase essentials for families in need, and deliver checks to provide funding for non-profit programs and initiatives.
\n\u201cWe couldn\u2019t think of a better way to support and recognize these organizations in our community,\u201d said Skip Carlson, vice president of external affairs at Saratoga Casino Hotel. \u201cThis year, more than ever so many organizations and families are in need. Our goal behind our 30 Days of Giving program is not only to provide direct support to each group, but to also help increase the exposure of these amazing organizations.\u201d
\nEach organization will be featured on Saratoga Casino Hotel\u2019s social media pages highlighting their cause and promoting local support and assistance. Throughout the 30 days the casino will also feature four Player Choice contests on their Facebook page where fans can vote for particular organizations to receive a $1,000 donation. All organizations selected for the Player Choice contests will receive at a minimum $500.
\nThe first recipient of the 30 Days of Giving is the Saratoga County Foundation receiving a $5,000 donation.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly thankful to be the beneficiary of this generous donation from Saratoga Casino Hotel,\u201d said Todd Shimkus, president of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce. \u201cThe money will be used for our Save Our Locals campaign and will go a long way in allowing us to continue our mission of helping local businesses that have been so heavily impacted by the pandemic\u201d.
\nOver the last 16 years, Saratoga Casino Hotel has donated over $2.9 million to different charitable groups.
