As 2023 comes to a close, Horseshoe Indianapolis is distributing funds from a special option utilized by guests on the casino floor. The NRT Technology kiosks provide an option for guests when cashing out to earmark any winnings to charity. As a result, $32,815.10 this fall has been earmarked to Especially Kidz, located in Shelbyville, Ind.
Especially Kidz has a long-standing relationship with Horseshoe Indianapolis. Over the past few years, the company's team members made numerous trips to the facility that aids physically challenged kids and young adults with 24-hour skilled nursing care. The outdoor atrium received a complete renovation, adding outdoor space for families and residents to utilize during visits. This year, Especially Kidz was included as a recipient for the charitable option on casino floor kiosks.
"To be able to contribute these funds donated by our guests to such a worthwhile organization is a tremendous opportunity for Horseshoe Indianapolis," said Trent McIntosh, senior vice president and general manager.
Horseshoe Indianapolis team members stopped by Especially Kidz Dec. 1 to deliver the check from the proceeds of the charitable option. They were joined by members of the care-giving staff in receipt of the donation.
The 22nd season of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing begins with a special Monday, April 8 racing program at noon for the Total Solar Eclipse Day in the area. Racing extends through Nov. 14. For more information, visit www.caesars.com/horseshoe-indianapolis.
