Caesars Empowers Youth with Donation to Local Boys & Girls Clubs

Caesars Foundation & Caesars Entertainment's partnership efforts with Boys & Girls Clubs helps youth reach their full potential.

Caesars Foundation has generously donated $30,000 to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. This significant contribution underscores Caesars Entertainment’s ongoing commitment to fostering community growth and providing essential resources to local youth.

In addition to the financial donation, Caesars Entertainment executives visited the Donald W. Reynolds Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada on July 31. They presented the Caesars Makes Change and Caesars Foundation gift during their visit and engaged in a hands-on volunteer STEM activity with the Club youth. The executives were divided into groups with members and participated in a fun and educational challenge to build the tallest and most structurally sound marshmallow tower using marshmallows and skewers.

“Caesars' generosity has enhanced our ability to impact the lives of countless young people, fostering their growth and potential,” said Andy Bischel, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. “Their commitment to our mission enables us to continue to offer life-changing opportunities to our members, setting them on a path to a Great Future!”
