Melanie McDonald, Sr. Manager of Public Relations

This May, we held a summer food drive, where all proceeds benefited the South Wood Emerging Pantry Shelf in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. SWEPS services over 1,350 people each month in over 525 household. We had a fantastic response to this event, with a total of 762 participants donating food items that weighed in at 5,600 pounds, a value of over $7,600! SWEPS Operations manager, Dale Davis, was ecstatic when we notified him that we would be hosting another summer food drive. He stated “The summer months are always slow for donations. We are very appreciative that the casino thinks of our pantry every summer. You help us assist the many people in our area that need this service.” We would like to thank everyone who participated in this food drive, it would not have been a success without you!

Melanie McDonald, Sr. Manager of Public Relations

Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa held their annual Memorial Day Flag Raising Ceremony on Monday May 27, 2019. Like many years past the weather was rainy and dreary, which lead to the ceremony being held in the Banquet Center. Despite the weather, there were about 50 guests in attendance. The Joseph J. White Legion Post conducted the ceremony and the Little Thunder Drum Group assisted. The guest speaker was Dan Carlson, Mayor of Nekoosa. Mr. Carlson talked about how a lot of people think of Memorial Day as the start of summer. However the real meaning of Memorial Day is to honor those who have given their lives for our freedom. He reminded everyone to set aside a place in our hearts to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. After the ceremony, a drawing was held with three winners receiving gift certificates to Whitetail Crossing and Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa. Throughout the day, holders of our new Warrior Card each received a $25 Rewards Play benefit.
Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa would like to thank all Veterans, active military service members, and families of the fallen for their service.

Melanie McDonald, Sr. Manager of Public Relations

On Thursday April 18 Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa sponsored a meal for the Neighborhood Table located at the United Methodist Church in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. The Neighborhood Table is a nonprofit, charitable organization mostly staffed by volunteers who provide free meals to anyone in need in the communities of Wisconsin Rapids, Nekoosa, Port Edwards and surrounding areas in central Wisconsin. The mission of the Neighborhood Table, “Is to reduce hunger in our community, improve quality of life for our residents and create an awareness of needs that exist in our community”. Since the organization first opened their doors in 2003, over 250,000 meals have been served with more than 115 community groups sponsoring and volunteering. This year Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa had several employees participate in the sponsored meal who prepared, cooked, and served the guests. This is an organization that Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa is proud to partner with for many years and always looks forward to their sponsored meal night.

Melanie McDonald, Sr. Manager of Public Relations

Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa and Ho-Chunk Gaming Black River Falls partnered to be the Co-Presenting sponsor for the 11th annual Rich Seubert Celebrity Trap Shoot on April 13th. This was the fourth year the casinos sponsored, with the third year as Co-Presenting sponsor. The event is hosted by the Marshfield Clinic Health System Foundation. Rich Seubert, a retired New York Giants football player, started this event 12 years ago because he wanted to give back to the clinic after his grandmother received a heart transplant at Marshfield Clinic. Despite the cold and windy weather, a fun-filled day was had at the Eau Claire Rod & Gun Club. A lovely dinner and reception invitation to the Lismore Hotel for the 225 shooters who participated followed the trap shoot. Over $126,000 was raised between the trap shoot, silent and live auction and the multiple drawings. The funds raised from this event will be split between the Angel Fund, which helps families in financial hardship related to serious medical issues, and improvements to the pediatric departments to create child-friendly spaces in the Marshfield Clinic hospitals.

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

KEEPING IT FUN

Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin advocates the American Gaming Association's message to "Keep it Fun" while visiting any of our gaming establishments.

Whether you play slots, craps, blackjack, roulette or any other game in a casino, it is important to remember that games of chance are based on random outcomes and always favor the casino. These games of chance are a form or entertainment, at a price to you, the player. Casino gaming should not be considered a way to make money.

Gambling has become an accepted part of America's mainstream culture, comparable to leisure activities such as attending movies, athletic events and the theater. A large majority of Americans who gamble do so recreationally without adverse consequences. However, for some, gambling is no longer entertainment, becoming something they need to do rather than something they want to do.

NEED HELP

Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin offers the following options:

Our self exclusion program allows guests to exclude themselves from any Ho-Chunk Gaming facility for a minimum of 12 months. To self exclude you will need to download and fill out our self exclusion form and deliver to any Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin location.
