Boyd Gaming's Trees of Hope

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Boyd Gaming is inviting southern Nevada nonprofit organizations to submit their entries to participate in one of the Las Vegas Valley’s favorite holiday traditions, Trees of Hope.

Aliante Casino Hotel and Spa, Cannery Casino and Hotel, Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, Main Street Station Casino Brewery and Hotel, The Orleans, Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, and Suncoast Hotel and Casino will host 35 local charities during this year’s tree-decorating competition. Boyd Gaming customers will vote for their favorite tree at each participating property as organizations compete for the top prize at each property.

This holiday season Boyd Gaming will award over $40,000 to nonprofits throughout southern Nevada. The top performing charities at each participating property will be awarded a grand prize, with a guaranteed minimum cash prize of $500 for all participating organizations. A second contest via social media will add an extra opportunity for charities to win an additional cash award.

Applicants must represent a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the southern Nevada community. Proof of tax status must be provided when submitting an entry.

Charities are invited to submit an entry via email to TreesOfHope@boydgaming.com by Sunday, 30 September.
