Community Engagement

We play a large role in the communities where we are privileged to operate. That means we have a responsibility and unique opportunity to effect positive change. This is something we embrace.

We believe that our business success is inseparable from the success of our initiatives to strengthen the economic, social, and cultural fabric of our home towns and cities. So we invest in those initiatives.

Our employees invest in person. From January 2010 through June 2011, HERO volunteers company-wide contributed more than 173,000 hours to communities and the environment through individual and HERO-sponsored volunteer efforts.

Organizing Relay for Life fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, for example. Supporting nonprofit groups that help our eligible employees and local residents through the process of becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. And, through our Dollars for Doers program, working on behalf of local causes and organizations about which employees feel passionate on a personal level.

I am proud to be part of a company that gives back to our employees and our communities. It feels amazing to be able to assist fellow Latinos on making their 'American Dream' to become U.S. citizens a reality. It is important for Caesars Entertainment to set the philanthropic standard in our community.

Las Vegas Region

As active community members, the local insights provided by our HERO volunteers help us ensure that our work reflects the diversity of our individual resorts, our employees and the communities we serve.

Caesars also shares its financial success with communities through the corporation and Caesars Foundation. We make investments, for example, in education, and in the well being of seniors, to help them maintain health and independence. That may mean a hot meal delivered to the front door. Or it may mean fulfilling the dream of an 81-year-old fan to see Aretha perform in concert.

We will continue to invest in the communities where we live and work. It's in our Code of Commitment, and it's in our blood.
