This week OTB and Jake's 58 showed their caring side when Suffolk OTB President & CEO Phil Boyle met with representatives of The Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center to present a check to them for a donation.
The $11,325 donation came from funds collected by Jake’s 58 Casino players through its “Donate Your Change Program” throughout the month of November. Players at the casino were given a choice to donate their excess change to different nonprofits. When a player walks away from a machine with a few cents left they were able to give it to their chosen charity, and that change really added up.
The program called “Donate Your Change” was a simple transaction for patrons who just went to the kiosks throughout Jake’s 58 Casino. Suffolk OTB President and CEO Phil Boyle said, “This program plays a vital role in supporting our local non-profit organizations, like the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center by providing an easy and impactful way for guests to contribute to meaningful causes. This initiative not only encourages community engagement but also helps fund vital programs and services that make a real difference in the lives of those in need. It’s a simple yet powerful way for individuals to give back, and a reflection of Jake’s 58’s commitment to being a positive force in the community."
“We are so grateful to receive these funds that will be utilized to support Long Island families impacted by cognitive decline,” says Lauren Vlachos, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center, which has more information available at adrcinc.org. “We encourage any families who may need answers or who are looking for resources and support to reach out to us. All our resources are free.”
The Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center, serving Long Island families since 1983, has a mission to empower families and caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias through compassionate care, comprehensive support and free accessible programs.
