Philanthropy: We're All In for Giving and Volunteering
The first component of the “All In” campaign, “All In for Giving & Volunteering,” focuses on the commercial gaming industry’s philanthropic efforts, including corporate and employee charitable giving and volunteerism. Members of the commercial gaming industry participate in outstanding volunteer programs and make significant financial contributions to charitable organizations throughout the country.
“All In for Giving and Volunteering” is an opportunity to share the full scope of industrywide activities in this area, thus reinforcing the gaming industry’s longstanding commitment to contributing positively to the communities where we operate.
Events will take place during National Volunteer Week, April 21-27, 2012. The week is a time for gaming companies across the country to recognize the outstanding efforts of their employee volunteers and participate in volunteer projects in the local community. To celebrate the week, the AGA is releasing new research on industry philanthropy efforts and coordinating volunteer activities at member companies and casino properties across the country.
