Jamul Casino honors veterans with San Diego County Supervisor
For the seventh annual Veterans Day luncheon, Jamul Casino awarded a check to local nonprofit Central Surf San Diego.
On Veterans Day, 54 members of the Jamul Indian Village Tribe and Jamul Casino team received a tribute for their services in the military. This was the seventh annual Veterans Day luncheon held by Jamul Casino and San Diego County Supervisor, Joel Anderson, was in attendance for the annual presentation of a check.
This year, the check was awarded to Central Surf San Diego, which offers several surf-based programs, including a military-focused group called ‘One More Wave,’ which gives veterans and retired military personnel a way to relieve stress, find a community and recover from any trauma. The nonprofit was founded by Denise Graham, a veteran of the Coast Guard.
Chairwoman of the Jamul Indian Village, Erica M. Pinto, said, “Today, it is my sincere privilege to be able to honor the sacrifice of Veterans by contributing to Central Surf San Diego. Their mission of wellness and healing resonates in our Tribal communities and we are honored to include them in our philanthropic efforts.
“I also want to especially acknowledge our American Indian Veterans — they have served in every major conflict in every capacity and in every generation since the military was established. Their enduring legacy carries on and we are proud to be able to recognize them today.”
Jamul Casino is in the process of expanding its venue with a luxury hotel, for which it received financing in April this year. Though no specific opening date has been set, the Jamul Casino website says the hotel is ‘coming in 2024.’
President and General Manager of Jamul Casino, Mary Cheeks, also said of the Veterans Day luncheon, “This event is an opportunity to honor the strong legacy of military service among the Jamul Indian Village Tribal Members and Jamul Casino Team Members.
“Having so many Service Members among our team is truly a source of pride. We are thankful for the sacrifices they have made and the talents they bring to our team.”
