Tioga Downs Casino Resort recently awarded $1.1 million in grants to 54 non-profit organizations in the Southern Tier Region of New York and Northern Pennsylvania.
The resort’s Tioga Downs Regional Community Foundation announced the grants November 29 as part of Giving Tuesday. Recipients included the Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra in New York, The Empire State Special Needs Experience in Spencer, New York, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Twin Tiers in Towanda, Pennsylvania.
“It feels incredible to honor the organizations that hold our community together, especially on Giving Tuesday,” said Tioga Downs Owner Jeffrey Gural in a statement. “This foundation allows us to support people who are changing lives in the cities, towns, and villages our guests call home.”
The Tioga Downs Regional Community Foundation provides grants to charitable, religious, literary, scientific, and educational organizations in Broome, Tioga, and Chemung counties in New York, and Bradford County in Pennsylvania. The $1.1 million is the most the trust has awarded since its inception.
