Beau Rivage donates to local non-profits

At the Beau Rivage, an employee-driven fundraiser is going to impact many local non-profits heading into the new year.

The casino held its annual employee Christmas lunch ahead of the holiday, donating over $140,000 to 11 local non-profits in South Mississippi.

The money raised through multiple fundraisers during the year had a focus on assisting in the area of education, food insecurity, or health and wellness.

Each different non-profit received an allotted check ranging from $5000 to $150,000.

Gulf Coast Center for Non-Violence is one recipient the Beau Rivage has donated funds to for many years.

“We really try to focus on three things food insecurity, education and workforce development. So it’s always great when those pillars are considered when we’re offering grants,” said Stacy Riley, the CEO of Gulf Coast Center for Non-Violence. “We recognize that we can’t do we do without the support of our community members and the businesses who were here in our community to help us with spreading the word to help us with funding to help us with you donations of items that our clients need. It’s just a it’s an invaluable services.”

In total, the MGM Resorts Foundation has given more than $2.7 million to local non-profit organizations.
