LAS VEGAS – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Thanks to MGM Mirage, holiday shoppers can now find a good stocking stuffer and contribute to a worthwhile cause at the same time.
To help its employees in Mississippi recover from this year's hurricanes, MGM Mirage announced today that the company is selling specially designed awareness bracelets saying 'Rebuilding Together' at all its local retail outlets on the Las Vegas Strip. The bracelets cost $1.50 each.
'We are now selling bracelets at all MGM Mirage retail outlets to support our Katrina Recovery Fund,' said Merlinda Gallegos, director of corporate philanthropy. 'These bracelets are good stocking stuffers that help people do a good deed at the same time.'
Gallegos said all proceeds go to the MGM Mirage Katrina Recovery Fund that benefits the roughly 3,400 employees of Beau Rivage, the MGM Mirage resort in Biloxi, Miss. that has been closed since being damaged by Hurricane Katrina in late August. The company contributed $1 million to establish the fund following the devastation caused by the hurricane and pledged also to match its employee contributions 'dollar for dollar' through Dec. 31."
