Rivers Casino announced on Thursday that they will be partnering with local military and first responder organizations to participate in beautification efforts in the community. The initiative, titled “Operation: Beautify”, aims to give back to those who serve and protect our country by improving the appearance of public spaces in the area.
The casino, which is located in Des Plaines, Illinois, has long been a supporter of the military and first responders. In addition to hosting events and fundraisers for these organizations, they have now decided to take a more hands-on approach by volunteering their time and resources to help beautify the community.
“Rivers Casino is proud to support our military and first responders, and we want to show our appreciation for all they do by giving back in a tangible way,” said Greg Carlin, CEO of Rush Street Gaming, the parent company of Rivers Casino. “We believe that by joining forces with these organizations, we can make a real difference in the appearance of our community and create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.”
The beautification efforts will include tasks such as planting flowers, painting benches, picking up litter, and general maintenance of public spaces. Rivers Casino has recruited a team of volunteers from their staff to participate in these activities, and they will be working alongside members of local military and first responder organizations.
“We are grateful to Rivers Casino for their support and willingness to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty for a good cause,” said Lt. Col. David Smith, a representative from the local National Guard unit. “It’s heartwarming to see businesses like Rivers Casino giving back to the community in such a meaningful way.”
The beautification efforts will kick off this Saturday at a local park in Des Plaines, where volunteers will spend the day working to improve the appearance of the space. Rivers Casino has also pledged to continue these efforts on a regular basis, with plans to adopt other public spaces in the area and continue their mission of ‘Operation: Beautify’.
In addition to the physical improvements to the community, Rivers Casino will also be making a financial contribution to the military and first responder organizations involved in the initiative. This donation will help support their ongoing efforts to serve and protect the community.
Overall, ‘Operation: Beautify’ is not only a way for Rivers Casino to give back to those who dedicate their lives to serving others, but also a way to bring the community together and create a stronger, more beautiful environment for all to enjoy.
