Southland Casino Racing Raised $47,604 for Families in Transition
|
West Memphis, AR – March 2021 / Newsmaker Alert / On Friday, March 12, 2021, Southland Casino Racing presented Families in Transition (FIT), a nonprofit organization that supports Crittenden County by providing shelter, safety and support to victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, elder abuse, teen dating violence and surviving family members of homicide victims.

For guests of the gaming venue, it’s as easy as dropping off and gifting the change that’s left on a slot voucher or racing ticket at wishing wells, located throughout the casino floor.

The campaign is part of parent company Delaware North’s “Game Changer” initiative across its gaming properties in the United States, with the goal of making a positive change in those local communities.

“We have a deep appreciation for the work that Families in Transition does to help our community,” said David Wolf, general manager and president of Southland Casino Racing. “And to take it a step further – it’s wonderful to know that we and our patrons are a part of something even larger, as patrons of other gaming venues within our company’s U.S. portfolio are helping those in need within their respective communities.”
