For its 20th anniversary, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida, is giving back to its community.
The operator Thursday announced it is donating $400,000 to charities in the Tampa Bay area. Twenty charities, including organizations that serve children and cultural endeavors, will receive $20,000 each.
“Having been a major economic force in the Tampa Bay area for the past two decades, it’s our privilege to give back through this initiative,” said Seminole Hard Rock Tampa President Steve Bonner in a statement. “`Love All-Serve All’ is more than a motto to us; it’s our guiding principle. Through our philanthropic efforts, we continue to invest in the community by advocating for important causes that are making a real difference in countless lives every day.”
In two decades, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa has invested over $10 million in philanthropic initiatives to support more than 100 organizations across the Tampa Bay region.
“Clearly, we want to use this occasion as a celebration of our successes and accomplishments,” Bonner said. “But, more importantly, we want to give back to show we are extremely grateful for the overwhelming support from the Tampa Bay community throughout all of these years.”
