Centaur Gaming announced on Wednesday, Oct. 12 a collaboration between its two racing and gaming properties, Hoosier Park Racing & Casino in Anderson, Indiana and Indiana Grand Racing & Casino in Shelbyville, Indiana, to launch a weekend campaign in support of Hurricane Matthew relief efforts on Friday, Oct. 14 through Sunday, Oct. 16.
Guests visiting both Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand starting 6 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 14 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16 are encouraged to donate a minimum of $10 in support of those affected by Hurricane Matthew. All donations will be sent to American Red Cross and directly benefit domestic Hurricane Matthew relief efforts. In return, both properties will give guests who make a donation $10 in free slot play as a thank you for their contribution.
“It’s our civic responsibility to step up and help the people who have been devastated by Hurricane Matthew,” said Jim Brown, Centaur Gaming’s president and chief operating officer. “Good things can happen when a community pulls together, and we would like to thank our Centaur Gaming guests in advance for contributing with us to fundraise for these much needed relief efforts.”
In addition to the ‘donate and get’ event at Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand, Centaur Gaming is also encouraging its 2,000 team members statewide to donate to disaster relief efforts through American Red Cross.
“Our work continues and is possible, thanks to the support of Centaur Gaming – who understands that we all hold the power to support our neighbours in times of need,” said an American Red Cross spokesperson. “It is moments like this the community relies on the Red Cross, and the Red Cross is appreciative for this generous donation.”
