Atlantic City Caesars Casinos Contribute $15,000 to Local Charities

Philanthropic Contributions from Caesars Entertainment

As the year closes, Caesars Entertainment’s three Atlantic City casinos have collectively donated $15,000 to benefit several community-focused charities. These donations aim to support organizations within the local area, specifically benefiting the 200 Club of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, Brighton Avenue School, and the Headstrong Project.

Beneficiaries of the Donations

The Headstrong Project, which is dedicated to mental health, will use the funds to continue providing confidential and accessible PTSD treatments for veterans, free from stigma. Brighton Avenue School, which educates children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, plans to use the donation for purchasing winter clothing such as coats, hats, and shirts for students facing financial hardships.

The 200 Club of Atlantic and Cape May Counties supports the families of police officers, firefighters, and rescue workers who have been injured or lost their lives while serving the community. The donation will assist their financial aid programs, offering crucial help to these families in times of need.
