Arizona Charlie’s Feed a Family Program

About 600 People Received A Holiday Meal

It turned out to be a huge success!

With the final tally counted, nearly two million ace | PLAY points were contributed by community-minded ace | PLAY members for the Arizona Charlie’s Feed a Family program which provided holiday meals to local families in need.

The Feed a Family program was historic in that it was the first time Arizona Charlie’s Casinos allowed players to use their points for something other than comps, cash or free play.

“The response from our players was incredible,” said Ron Lurie, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur General Manager. “Being our first year doing this, we didn’t know what to expect and we were thrilled by the response.”

“Our players have a giving heart and they wanted to improve the holidays for those less fortunate,” said Mark Majetich, Arizona Charlie’s Boulder General Manager.

For every 12,000 ace | PLAY points contributed by players, Arizona Charlie’s purchased holiday food baskets of groceries sufficient to feed a family of four. It included a 10-pound turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, potatoes, mixed vegetables, dinner rolls and a pumpkin pie.

The holiday food baskets were delivered to Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority (SNRHA) clients prior to Thanksgiving and prior to Christmas. SNRHA was chosen as their clients have an average annual income of $10,450.

Arizona Charlie’s players could contribute any amount between one and one million ace | PLAY points. For every 12,000 points collected, one food basket was created. The largest single donation came from an anonymous player who contributed 200,000 points to the Feed a Family program. A total of 149 holiday meal baskets were delivered to SNRHA, feeding 149 families, that’s nearly 600 Las Vegas citizens.
