Making Change, Making an Impact
Each month a new organization is selected. Whether it’s a shelter, food bank, youth program or community center, we’re committed to getting funds into the hands of those who need it.
When you visit our casino, you’ll notice designated bins at our front entrance where you can donate spare change or TITO tickets.
Every penny counts and all contributions go directly to the charity selected for the month, benefiting our local communities.
This Month’s Charity:
Piper’s Project
Piper’s Project, is a nonprofit serving residents of Northwest Michigan. Piper’s Project aims to donate bicycles to children in need in collaboration with McClain Race Team. Inspired by Piper’s mission and spirit of giving, they will be our donation recipient for the month of December.
Piper’s project in Traverse City, Michigan, highlights her creativity, dedication, and connection to the community. Set against the backdrop of the city’s scenic waterfront and vibrant downtown, her project focuses on bringing people together through hands-on collaboration and fresh ideas. Whether she’s organizing local workshops, designing interactive displays, or collecting stories from residents, Piper works to celebrate the identity and spirit of Traverse City. Her thoughtful planning and attention to detail show how committed she is to making a positive impact, turning her project into something that not only showcases her skills but also strengthens the community around her.
