Random Acts of Kindness Coming to the Region this May
WORLEY, Idaho (April 26, 2022)— With gas prices at an all-time high Coeur d’Alene Casino’s Pay It Forward initiative comes at the perfect time. Be on the lookout all month for representatives handing out cash on Free Gas Fridays, giving gift cards to local Spokane and Coeur d’Alene restaurants, covering grocery bills and providing an opportunity for local residents to apply for cash gift cards online all month long.
In partnership with Stephens Media Group, Coeur d’Alene Casino will be giving away a total of $31,000 as part of the casino’s charity initiative, Coeur Connections.
“Each year this program seems to hit at the perfect time,” said Yvette Matt, Director of Marketing at Coeur d’Alene Casino. “We launched this in 2020 as a way to bring a smile and a little help during such difficult times. We are truly grateful to be able to turn this into an annual program.”
