As a seasoned Funner Californian, you know that the giving season at Harrah’s Resort SoCal never stops. From the annual All-in 4 Change program that provides local nonprofits with much-needed cash grants, to volunteer days both at the resort and in the community, giving back to those who need it most is a 24/7 responsibility that the team in Funner, CA keeps near and dear to their hearts. But while showing the community some love is a year-long marathon, Giving Tuesday is an all-out sprint!
Giving Tuesday takes place annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. On this day, community leaders and volunteers nationwide take part in giving back in a big way. “Caring for the communities in which we live and work has always been a priority. Giving Tuesday was first started in 2015 and is a tradition that teammates look forward to each year. This day is near and dear to my heart as it occurs in the time of year when we’re giving thanks; it means so much to be able to give back to those in need and/or less fortunate,” says Jill Barrett, general manager of Harrah’s Resort SoCal.
In all, 125 Harrah's Resort SoCal team members helped the following charities:
Canine Companions for Independence
Helen Woodward Animal center
Armed Services YMCA
USS Midway
Habitat for Humanity
Feeding San Diego
Escondido EcoVivarium
