Some examples of these sponsorships have been broken down by key focus area. 1 | Strengthening Our Community First Steps Wellness Centre First Steps Wellness Centre Casino Regina was proud to support the First Steps Wellness Centre and the launch of their Children’s Cerebral Palsy Program. The finan- cial support of SaskGaming enabled the centre to begin the program in June. Moose Jaw Health Foundation Gala “We raised $31,559. It was an absolutely tremendous night. Thank you, [Casino Moose Jaw], once again for your amazing support.” – Kelly McElree, Executive Director of Moose Jaw Health Foundation Moose Jaw Habitat for Humanity Colour Run Casino Moose Jaw had their own colour station at the Habitat for Moose Jaw Health Foundation Gala Regina and Moose Jaw & District Humanity Colour Run that raised approximately $15,000 for the cause Food Banks in Moose Jaw. A handful of Casino Moose Jaw employees decided to get “colourful” and race through the exciting course. Regina and Moose Jaw & District Food Banks Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw contributed once again to the Regina and Moose Jaw & District Food Banks through the 12 Days of Giving Campaign. With SaskGaming’s help, the food banks were able to reach their goal of $150,000 in donations, which fed over 2,000 families during the holiday season. A Year in Review | Community Relations 4 Moose Jaw Habitat for Humanity Colour Run 2 | Promoting Community Pride Breakout West The 14th annual BreakOut West awards and festival, which showcased the best and brightest in western Canadian music, was held in Regina in October.
