Grand Casino Mille Lacs in Minnesota partnered with Global Promotional Sourcing (GPS) and the Babinski Foundation to host the property’s first-ever National Adopt a Pet Day on April 11, which saw 43 of 53 adoptable pets find new homes on the day.
GPS played a key role in supporting the event by donating branded dog bandanas and purple tennis balls for newly adopted pets as well as presenting a $1,000 donation to the Babinski Foundation, which serves as a nonprofit animal shelter.
The contribution will help fund critical veterinary care, shelter and adoption services for homeless animals.
“Casinos thrive when they connect with their communities in meaningful ways,” GPS CEO Donna Raucher said.
“At GPS, we help gaming brands elevate guest experiences, and this event was a perfect example of how the industry can engage players while making a real difference. As a dog-friendly company, this initiative was especially close to our hearts.”
Good to know: Greater Good Charities and Bally Bet collaborated to donate one million meals to shelter pets in need throughout the NFL season following the formation of its inaugural Million Meals campaign during September 2024
The event, hosted at Grand Casino Mille Lacs, gave the community an opportunity to interact with adoptable pets and take advantage of special discounted adoption rates.
Grand Casino Mille Lacs’ National Adopt a Pet Day also underscores how casinos can leverage partnerships to create unique, community-driven activations that resonate with guests.
