Bally’s Chicago Casino is celebrating Women’s History Month with a “Give $5, Get $10”charitable contribution campaign benefitting Chicago Foundation for Women (CFW), an organization celebrating their 40th anniversary this year. Throughout the month of March, new and existing Bally Rewards members are eligible once each week to receive free play, or table bets for donating to CFW, which works to improve the lives of women, girls and gender-expansive people through grantmaking, leadership development and education.
“Bally’s Chicago Casino is glad to support organizations that make a real difference for members of our community, like Chicago Foundation for Women. Their investments focusing on economic security, freedom from violence, access to health services and empowering diverse leadership are helping create a stronger Chicago,” said Monica Scott, Bally’s Chicago Vice President of Community Engagement. “The Bally’s Chicago team is always looking for ways to give back—from monthly volunteerism and in-kind donations to charitable promotions like this one—and we are proud to give back to Chicago.”
As part of the “Give $5, Get $10” promotion, Bally Rewards players can donate in $5 increments each (Sunday-Saturday) to receive free play, or table bets based on tier:
• Pro: $5 per week – $5 donation for $10 free play, or table bet
• Star: $10 per week – $10 donation for $20 free play, or table bet
• Superstar: $15 per week – $15 donation for $30 free play, or table bet
• Legend+: Up to $25 per week – $25 donation for $50 free play, or table bet
• See Ballyschicago.com for more information.
Proceeds from the promotion will be combined with charitable funds from Bally’s Chicago to support a generous donation at the end of the month.
“We are thankful that Bally’s Chicago Casino is joining us in uplifting women, girls and gender-expansive people in our community,” said Keenya Lambert, President and CEO of Chicago Foundation for Women. “We deeply admire both their thoughtful partnership and their commitment to Chicago.”
Bally’s Chicago Casino regularly supports women-owned businesses across Chicago, including hiring as vendors and partnering through the casino’s Community Rewards Partner Program. The Community Rewards Partner Program allows Bally Rewards members to redeem earned Bally Bucks for products and services from participating local businesses, including women-owned Bronzeville Winery and Kilwins Ice Cream. Notable women-owned vendor partners include Flowers Communications Group, MOTR GRAFX, LLC, JR Dessert Bakery, MGPG Events, Inc. and Sabre Supply, Inc.
The casino also has ongoing efforts to support the hiring, development and advancement of women in its workforce, with women currently comprising over 45% of the team. These efforts match Bally’s Chicago’s Host Community Agreement (HCA) commitment to the City of Chicago of employing 45% women in its workforce.
