Sycuan Casino Resort presented $187,000 to 28 charities during its 2022 Annual Holiday Gift Giving ceremony on Dec. 8. This is Sycuan’s sixteenth holiday giving ceremony, providing hundreds of nonprofit organizations from social and health services to the arts and environment.
“This event is always such a special one, because members of our team are given the opportunity to select a charity partner that is meaningful to them,” said Cody Martinez, chairman, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation in a press release. “Our event this year is also very exciting, because we’ve broken another record making 2022 the biggest Gift Giving Ceremony we’ve ever had. We are honored and proud to support these organizations that are making a positive difference in our community every single day.”
Each December, members of the Sycuan Tribal Council and leadership team individually select a charity to support on behalf of Sycuan.
