RENO, Nev. (Sept. 8, 2021) – Guests at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino (GSR) are now able to give back to local Northern Nevada charities while playing their favorite slot games through the resort-casino’s new "Change for Charities" program. When players cash in their slot tickets at property ATMs, they will be given the opportunity to donate the change to their choice of one of four predetermined local charities, which will rotate on an ongoing basis. Each month, the money will be collected and sent to the respective charities.
The first four charities benefiting from the "Change for Charities" program are:
- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada: creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
