Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland Monday celebrated its 10th anniversary with a VIP event and an announcement that the property is establishing a $1 million scholarship fund. Property owner Cordish Companies will donate $100,000 per year for the next decade to Anne Arundel Community College for a Hospitality Scholarship Program in honor of the 10-year anniversary.
“Ten years ago, we built Live! Casino Maryland and have since added 11 restaurants, a poker room, luxury hotel, state-of-the-art entertainment venue and a FanDuel Sportsbook, and more,” said Cordish Companies Chairman & CEO Dave Cordish at the event. “We have created three major casinos within The Cordish Companies, but Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland (in Hanover) is our flagship property and sets the standard for all others. Celebrating this momentous occasion with the community members who have supported us throughout this last decade has been a true point of pride for me and my family and we look forward to a very exciting future.”
The anniversary celebration was attended by team members, government officials, and invited guests.
Casino executives also emphasized the property’s commitment to extending contracts and partnerships with local minority- and women-owned businesses. Midnite Confections Cupcakery in Baltimore was awarded a $10,000 cash prize by Live! Casino & Hotel Chief Financial Officer Yvonne Mrha for the 2,000 cupcakes made to celebrate the anniversary as part of a competition among local bakeries.
