Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel Presents $10,000 Donation to Louisiana Red Cross
Charenton, La (PRWEB) September 14, 2016 -- Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel and Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana presented a $10,000 donation to the Louisiana Red Cross to provide relief to those in the affected areas of the historic flooding that plagued Louisiana. The donation is part of a multi-faceted fundraising effort to include a $1 contribution from the sale of each meal served at Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel for the next 30 days and flood relief t-shirt sales. The Louisiana Region of the American Red Cross serves 4.65 million residents in the 64-parish state.
“We are saddened by the devastation that this historic flood has caused and the impact it has had on our local community, guests and team members,” said Stacey McKay, Director of Marketing at Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel. “We are here to help and we are proud to announce that this is the first of two donations to the Louisiana Red Cross,” continued McKay.
The flooding in Louisiana has forced thousands of people from their homes with just the few things they could take with them. The American Red Cross sent an estimated 1,500 volunteers to Louisiana to help with more than 11,000 refugees in state-operated shelters.
“The American Red Cross of Louisiana appreciates the support of Cypress Bayou Casino to help get the families who have lost everything get back on their feet,” said Kearney Gay of the Louisiana Red Cross. “We continue to help many thousands of people in Louisiana in what is the worst natural disaster to hit the United States since Superstorm Sandy in 2012.”
Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel is a proud contributor to several local charities, nonprofits and causes from profit for the greater common good of the people of Acadiana.
