TIOGA DOWNS CASINO AND
VERNON DOWNS CASINO DONATE $200,000 TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS FOR NEW YORK CITY
HURRICANE SANDY VICTIMS
Between
Sunday, November 11 and Sunday, November 18, patrons
who donated $5 Sunday through Thursday, and those who donated $10 on Friday
and Saturday, received a free buffet in Tioga Downs’ County Fair Buffet.
Patrons were also encouraged to donate additional funds above $5 and $10, with
the total amount generously matched by Jeff Gural.
Through
these means, as well as with donations from employees, Tioga Downs donated
$31,000 and Vernon Downs amassed a total of $28,000. These amounts, with the
help of Jeff Gural’s matching and personal donations, met the combined donation
goal of $200,000.
According to Mr.
Gural, “Our areas know what it’s like to deal with the aftermath of a flood,
which is evident by the generosity of our patrons in showing their support for
Hurricane Sandy victims.”
In addition,
Meadowlands Racetrack and Gural are donating $250,000 to the American Red Cross
to assist with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New Jersey.
