HELPING
Indiana Grand Hosts Annual
‘Slots of Toys’ to Benefit Shelby
County Children in Need
I
n the spirit of the holiday season, Indiana Grand
Racing and Casino has officially kicked off its Slots
of Toys promotion to benefit the Shelby County
U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. Guests 21
and older are encouraged to donate a new children’s toy every
Sunday through Wednesday until December 13. In return,
they will receive $10 in free slot play as a thank you for the
contribution.
Indiana Grand guests can make Slots of Toys donations
directly at Club Centaur Rewards in the casino, once per day
from 6:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Toys must be new, unwrapped
and have a minim um value of $10. All toys collected will
directly benefit children in Shelby County.
“We are honored to partner with the Shelby County Toys for
Tots program to help make a difference in the lives of children
throughout our county,” said Elena Lisle, Indiana Grand’s
marketing director. “Receiving a toy through these collective
efforts sends a message of hope to children in need. That’s
important and we’re proud to be a part of it.”
The 2017 holiday season marks the fourth year that Indiana
Grand has partnered with Toys for Tots of Shelby County,
and the third year that guests are able to directly donate toys
through a casino promotion. In 2014, Indiana Grand guests
brought in more than 700 toys serving 269 children in Shelby
County. The number of children receiving toys increased to
469 in 2015 and 555 in 2016.
“We would not be able to provide for children throughout
our county without the help of Indiana Grand Racing
and Casino, their customers, our local businesses, clubs,
organizations and Shelby County residents,” said Bonnie Lynn
Moore, Shelby County’s Toys for Tots coordinator. “Through
everyone’s generosity, our program brought hope to
less-fortunate children and their parents in our community.
Being a part of this program has been a blessing to my
husband and myself, but it would not be possible without our
community helping us help others.”
Shelby County families may register for the Toys for Tots
program by picking up an application at the Human Services
office at 825 Elm Street in Shelbyville.
