This marks the fifth year Treasure Island team members have hung drywall in a Red Wing Habitat for Humanity house, with many of the same volunteers returning from previous years. In addition to volunteer labor, the Prairie Island Indian Community Tribal Council presented a $5,000 check to Parker Quammen, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity. "We truly appreciate the relationship we have built over the years with Prairie Island and Treasure Island," said Quammen. "Their crew comes back year after year and they are loyal and skilled. We really enjoy working side by side." The Tribe has a long tradition of charitable giving and believes that supporting local organizations is very important. Since 1994, the Prairie Island and Treasure Island have donated more than $15 million to a variety of civic and non-profit organizations. The Prairie Island Indian Community is a federally recognized Indian Nation that owns and operates Treasure Island Resort & Casino, which offers guests some of the best gaming, accommodations, food service and nationally known entertainment in the casino industry. As the largest employer in Goodhue County, the tribe employs more than 1,600 team members and generates more than $14 million in annual state and federal taxes. |
