The esteemed casino and entertainment corporation, Boyd Gaming, has generously contributed over $200,000 to nearly 200 charitable organizations spanning 11 states. This heartwarming endeavor was a component of their yearly “Trees of Hope” and “Wreaths of Hope” project, spreading holiday joy to areas where Boyd Gaming has a presence.
Adding to the significance of this initiative was the participation of Boyd Gaming’s clientele. During the festive period, they were given the opportunity to select their preferred charities, both digitally and at Boyd Gaming venues. These selections directly impacted the amount each organization received, infusing a personal element into the spirit of generosity.
This year’s contribution follows a similarly prosperous campaign in 2021, where Boyd Gaming donated in excess of $180,000 to charities throughout the United States. Their dedication to philanthropy is genuinely motivating.
Beyond their charitable activities, Boyd Gaming has also been bolstering its executive team. Industry veteran Steve Thompson has been elevated to the position of Chief Administrative Officer. Furthermore, Steve Schutte has assumed expanded duties, overseeing crucial departments such as slot machine operations, culinary services, lodging, and property management within Nevada. Under the guidance of Ted Bogich, Boyd Gaming continues to flourish across its 28 properties nationwide.
Sean Ward has assumed leadership of Boyd Gaming’s Midwest territory, succeeding an individual named Boych. It appears he has a considerable task ahead – the organization recently declared a substantial 29% surge in earnings for the preceding quarter! Their momentum is evident, as they aggressively pursue ambitious endeavors such as the expansive Fremont project and their collaborative online gaming venture with FanDuel.
