Hollywood Casino cast members entertain Camp Civitan3 August 2007BAY ST. LOUIS, Mississippi -- (PRESS RELEASE) -– Hollywood cast members entertained more than 150 adult Civitan Campers with a casino night in Wiggins, MS, last week. The special education campers enjoy Black Jack, where they played for fun and prizes purchased with play money. "This is the fourteenth time our employees volunteered to host casino night," said organizer and Hollywood employee Judy Brockhaus. "Most of our employees volunteer every summer. It's contagious," said Brockhaus. Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis shuttled employees to the camp and back with a caravan of employee family members following closely to lend their support for these outstanding campers. "I look forward to this evening every year. You can just see the joy and excitement we're bringing to the campers," said Gwen Crawford, a houseperson for Hollywood. "I think we probably enjoy casino night as much or more than the campers do," said Maria Salter, human resources trainer. Hollywood Casino cast members actively participate in numerous non-profit fundraising and volunteer efforts year round including the Hancock County Food Pantry, United Way, Red Cross Blood Drives, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, March of Dimes and more. Hollywood Casino employees have also established a Section 501c (3) non profit organization called Hollywood Cast Member Relief Fund (HCMRF) to raise funding for helping co-workers facing financial hardship for a variety of reasons such as terminal illnesses, devastating home fires, and life altering disabilities. |
