As part of Caesars Foundation’s $3.3 million donation to organizations across the U.S., Horseshoe Indianapolis has donated a total of $70,000 to Shelby County United Fund for You (SCUFFY) with $55,000 of that sum coming directly from Caesars Foundation.
SCUFFY holds an annual drive which recently completed by surpassing the goal of $875,000 with more than $912,000 collected. All proceeds from the drive benefit 13 local agencies in Shelby County.
“It’s important to us that Horseshoe Indianapolis continues its goal of being a good corporate partner in Shelby County,” said Steve Jarmuz, Senior Vice President and General Manager. “Allotting our funds coming directly from Caesars Foundation to SCUFFY plus an additional $15,000 from our local program only strengthens our commitment to the immediate community and ensures the organizations under the SCUFFY umbrella have the resources they need to provide much needed services.”
SCUFFY currently provides support to 13 different agencies, including Boys and Girls Club of America, Girls, Inc, The Salvation Army, Project Clothes for Kids, Cancer Association of Shelby County, Turning Point, United Service Organization (USO) Indiana, Shelby Senior Services, National Head Start Association, Meals on Wheels, The Arc of Shelby County, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. The 2022 drive was completed with a total of $912,907.65.
“This donation is so important to our organization,” said Alecia Gross, Executive Director of SCUFFY. “Without donations such as this, we would not be able to assist in our community. Horseshoe Indianapolis was the largest donor in this category, so we appreciate this so much.”
