Community Impact

Give today. Change tomorrow.

Ready to make a real impact? The team at Mardi Gras Casino & Resort is asking you to consider donating to Children’s Home Society of WV. Their mission is to offer child welfare, behavioral health, social casework, and advocacy services, including foster care and adoption, to 15,000+ children and families from 13 primary locations statewide. Their aim is to help build a future where, ultimately, their services are no longer needed: where every child has a safe and permanent home, a family to love them, and opportunities to thrive.

You can be a Game Changer for our community today. It’s as easy as dropping off and gifting change or the change left on your slot and racing vouchers. When we all contribute, it adds up quickly.

Our network of Lucky North^® Club properties is also conducting corresponding drives in other U.S. cities. Change starts here, with your generous donation. Thank you for your generosity.
