Saratoga Casino Hotel began its “30 Days of Giving” campaign by donating $100,000 to 38 local and regional non-profit organizations.
The program runs through December 22 and will include donations to local food pantries, purchasing essentials for families in need, and providing funding for non-profit programs and initiatives.
“This year more than ever, so many organizations and families are in need,” said Skip Carlson, Vice President of External Affairs at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The goal behind our 30 Days of Giving program is not only to provide direct support to each group, but also to help increase the exposure of these organizations.
Each organization will also be featured on Saratoga Casino Hotel’s 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, according to a press release. All organizations selected for the Player Choice contests will receive a minimum of $500.
The first recipient of the 30 Days of Giving is the Saratoga County Foundation, receiving a $5,000 donation.
“The 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,” said Todd Shimkus, President of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce.
