Jamul Indian Village and Jamul Casino changing lives in San Diego
Done by working on several philanthropic causes every fall.
Every fall, the Jamul Indian Village of California (JIV) and Jamul Casino work together to improve San Diego. They spotlight several worthy causes and raise money, support, and awareness for those issues.
Key initiatives this year included supporting veterans, breast cancer research, life-saving medical treatment for children, and fighting hunger in San Diego-area households.
Throughout October, patrons of Jamul Casino were invited to drop slot tickets into a designated drum inside the Casino. Jamul Casino pledged to match the dollar value of all slot tickets up to $10,000 with a donation to Susan G. Komen San Diego. On October 22, Jamul Casino presented a $10,000 check to the organization, which funds breast cancer research and provides support for those facing the disease.
Jamul Casino also partnered with the San Diego Food Bank to host a food distribution event. Those in need were able to pick up food from the casino, and casino team members also staffed the event.
Jamul Casino hosted its annual Veterans Day luncheon on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. Nathan Fletcher, Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, attended the event to help pay tribute to the 40 tribal and casino team members and who have served in the military. The JIV also presented a $10,000 donation to Unified United States Deported Veterans, an organization dedicated to advocating for and assisting US veterans who face deportation.
Jamul Casino has veterans working in nearly every part of our team,” said Mary Cheeks, President and General Manager of Jamul Casino. “It’s with great pride that we honor these extraordinary individuals, the unique talents they bring, and their service to our country.”
The JIV donated $5,000 to “Support our Staff” at Rady Children’s Hospital. The funds provide Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners to medical personnel who are working during the holidays.
Erica M. Pinto, Chairwoman of the JIV, said, “These past couple of years, frontline medical staff have truly demonstrated their courage and resilience. This gift to Rady Children’s Hospital is a way we can say thank you to the medical heroes making a difference in the lives of so many children and families.”
