AKWESASNE -- Through donations from casino customers and employees, the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino gave 499 toys to local organizations and families in need.
Casino customers gave 175 unopened and unwrapped toys and in return received a bingo card or $5 slot play.
Also, there was an angel tree in the employee break room, with a total of 278 gifts from casino staff. Additionally, their security department collected funds internally and purchased 46 toys to donate to the cause.
The drive benefitted the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Department of Social Services (DSS), and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Department of Child & Family Services (DCFS).
“We are honored to be a part of the annual fundraiser that provides a Christmas to families in need,” states Shannon Keel, casino general manager. “We would like to thank our guests and staff for participating and help provide families with gifts this holiday season.”
