PRESS RELEASE
November 22, 2013
Barona Resort & Casino has joined in the relief efforts to help those affected
by the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan. Barona recently presented a $10,000
donation to the Philippine American Business Improvement and Development (Phil
Am BID) during the organization's annual gala. Barona will also continue to
support those affected by Typhoon Haiyan with another $10,000 cash donation and
a three-week, casino-wide fundraiser that will benefit relief efforts through
the American Red Cross.
The casino-wide fundraiser begins on Saturday, November 23 as Filipino
politician and boxing legend Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao takes on Brandon "Bam Bam"
Rios in a pay-per-view fight which will be shown at the casino. From November 23
through December 15, Barona will match, dollar-for-dollar, the price of each
Filipino-inspired entree purchased at Ho Wan Noodle Shop. Players and staff will
also have an opportunity to make a donation in designated collection boxes
throughout the casino and everyone who makes a donation will be given a special
thank-you button for their support.
"Our hearts go out to those affected by the typhoon and we hope our donation
plus the proceeds of the fundraiser will inspire others to help with the relief
effort," said Rick Salinas, general manager of Barona Resort & Casino. "We have
many staff members and guests with friends and family in the Philippines and it
is going to take a long time and incredible resources to help the country heal.
We want to do as much as we can to provide aid to victims, and to give our
guests the opportunity to help as well."
