Starlight Casino New Westminster is willing to support its host community in many ways, as its day-to-day operation is vibrant enough to draw a crowd. Its most recent support was towards the Canadian Cancer Society in order to optimize its positive causes. Some CA$60,948 has been amassed via individuals choosing the dining and food offerings available at the casino complex, which is an approach benefitting all individuals involved.
Gateway Casinos & Entertainment is the casino operator overseeing the casino complex in New Westminster. Locals have been enjoying the diverse palette of offerings there are on the premises of the casino venue, as they feature both gambling and family-friendly pastime activities. This balanced cash flow is a recipe for success, as it brings together various crowds.
CA$60,948 Donated
Starlight Casino New Westminster wanted to express its support to an organization with an honorable cause. The Canadian Cancer Society recently received an allocation reaching some CA$60,948. About 100,000 diner experiences on the premises of the casino venue have supported this project. The casino management donated 50 cents from every dinner check paid at the Match Eatery and Public House or The Buffet.
The venue also features the Redbar Lounge, Kirin, as well as the Shang Noodle House. Bringing such a diversity closer to the people is essential for the diverse audience these restaurants are able to witness. Gateway Casinos wanted to support the Canadian Cancer Society back in October 2019, praising the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Raising awareness of this issue is essential for the protection of many women.
Regular check-ups are able to prevent the issue when it is discovered in its very early stages. Over the course of the entire month, individuals were reminded that they are responsible for their own health and should, therefore, opt for regular medical exams. Those of them preferring the various dishes and beverages at the casino complex were also able to support the project.
Casino Gives Back to the People
Every check issued over the month of October 2019 added 50 cents to the overall sum that was donated just recently. The tally shows that this amounts to upwards of 100,000 checks. Tanya Gabara, Gateway Casinos Director of Public Relations, stated that the collaboration between the casino operator and the Canadian Cancer Society has been in progress for quite a while.
Giving back to the community, while also improving its way of life is one of the great goals Gateway Casinos has. This happens thanks to the generous GatewayGIVES program. The program is known for supporting various charities across Canada. It could be recalled that back in the summer of 2019, Gateway Casinos London supported the community following the explosions in Old East Village. The casino operator announced it donated CA$5,000 via its GatewayGIVES program.
As for the latest donation, Irina Novak-Calki, Account Executive of Corporate Partnerships for the Canadian Cancer Society, also expressed her contentment. She pointed out that the regular contribution of larger corporations such as Gateway Casinos aid the organization and make research and advancement easier. This helps prevention, diagnosing, and treatment of patients.
