SHELBY COUNTY, Ind. -- Hoosier Park Racing & Casino in Anderson and Indiana Grand Racing & Casino in Shelbyville are launching a week-long campaign to help pets and animals affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Centaur Gaming announced the collaboration on September 1. According to a press release, the “Donate and Get” campaign will take place on Monday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 10.

“Hurricane Harvey has caused thousands of pets and animals to be displaced or forced out of shelters that were damaged by the storm. Aiding in relief efforts for our four-legged friends is a cause close to our hearts,” said Jim Brown, Centaur Gaming’s president and chief operating officer. 

Guests are encouraged to donate a minimum of $10 in support of the pets and animals affected by Hurricane Harvey. Centaur Gaming says all the donations will be sent to the Houston Humane Society, San Antonio Humane Society and the SPCA of Texas.

Both Hoosier Park Racing & Casino and Grand Racing & Casino will give those who donate $10 in free slot play. It’s a way to say thank you for the donation.

Centaur Gaming says only two donations can be made per day, for a total of $20 in free slot play.

“We can make a difference by pulling together, and we would like to thank our Centaur Gaming guests in advance for contributing with us to fundraise for these much-needed relief efforts,” Brown said.

In addition to the ‘donate and get’ event at Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand, Centaur Gaming made a $10,000 contribution to the American Red Cross and is also encouraging its 2,000 team members statewide to donate to a number of disaster relief efforts.
