Presque Isle Downs & Casino, a popular entertainment destination in Erie, Pennsylvania, is reaching out to the community for help in the wake of devastating hurricanes that have struck the southern United States. The casino is calling on patrons to come together this weekend to donate to hurricane relief efforts.
The recent hurricanes, including Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Sally, have caused widespread destruction, displacing thousands of families and leaving many without access to basic necessities. In response to this urgent need, Presque Isle Downs & Casino is partnering with local organizations to collect donations for those affected by the storms.
“We are deeply saddened by the impact of these hurricanes on our fellow Americans,” said a spokesperson for the casino. “We want to do our part to support those who have been affected and provide assistance in any way we can.”
This weekend, the casino will be accepting donations of essential items such as non-perishable food, water, baby supplies, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies. Monetary donations will also be accepted and will go towards aiding relief efforts in the affected areas.
In addition to collecting donations, Presque Isle Downs & Casino will be hosting a special fundraising event this weekend to raise additional funds for hurricane relief. The event will feature live entertainment, raffles, and other activities to encourage patrons to give back to those in need.
“We believe that coming together as a community is the most powerful way to make a difference,” the spokesperson added. “By supporting each other during times of crisis, we can show that kindness and compassion are stronger than any storm.”
The casino is encouraging everyone in the Erie area to participate in this weekend’s fundraising efforts and join in the relief efforts for those affected by the recent hurricanes. Donations can be dropped off at designated locations within the casino, and volunteers will be on hand to assist with collections.
Presque Isle Downs & Casino is dedicated to making a positive impact on the community and is committed to supporting those in need during times of crisis. By coming together and supporting one another, the casino hopes to make a difference in the lives of those affected by the hurricanes and provide much-needed relief during this difficult time.
