On Sunday, August 24th, over 100 participants and sponsors worked to raise $2,900 in this year's John "Wah" Oleski Christmas for Kids Ride.
Tioga Downs Casino Owner Jeff Gural has generously offered to match the amount raised for the event. The casino also provided the riders and participants with complimentary meals and free play coupons for their hard work and dedication.
Tioga Downs Casino has been a big supporter of the ride's mission for many years. The Binghamton Harley Davidson® Motorcycle group has raised over $120,000 to purchase toys for the program over the last 25 years. The ride's name was recently changed in remembrance of the event organizer, John "Wah" Oleski, who lost his courageous battle with lymphoma last year.
The Christmas for Kids Ride departs from the Southern Tier Harley Davidson® dealership and cruises to Tioga Downs Casino along with a police escort.
Hundreds of children throughout the southern tier will receive new toys due to the collaborative efforts of Tioga Downs Casino and the Southern Tier Harley Davidson® group.
Tioga Downs Casino is located along the north side of NY Route 17/ I-86, two miles west of exit 62 in Nichols, NY.
Located in the heart of the Southern Tier, Tioga Downs Casino Resort is your home away from home for a uniquely fun and exciting getaway! With the thrills of a casino, the excitement of live harness racing, and the delight of fine food and spirits, you can kick back, relax and be thoroughly entertained.

Tioga Downs Puts Final Beam in Place for New Parking Garage
Local dignitaries, Tioga Downs’
personnel and members of the media ceremoniously signed the final steel beam for
the new parking garage before it was lifted into place during a press
conference at Tioga Downs this morning.
Construction on the 3-story, 275-space garage began last
fall as fulfillment of a promise made by Jeff Gural, CEO & Chairman of American Racing & Entertainment (the parent company of
Tioga Downs,) to start construction on the ramp if voters passed Proposition 1 in
the November 5th election allowing the New York State Legislature to
authorize and regulate up to seven casinos in New York. The building
process began soon after that proposition was approved.
Construction of the parking garage, which will connect to
the casino, is Phase One of Tioga Downs’ expansion plans and is expected to be
completed next month.
Tioga Downs Casino is located along the north
side of NY Route 17/ I-86,
