Owner
Jeff Gural Matched Donations Collected by Red Cross at Tioga Downs Sunday
Nichols,
N.Y. – September 6,
2017 – Tioga Downs is proud to announce that the casino, alongside the American
Red Cross, raised nearly $6000 to benefit the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
On Sunday night, Tioga Downs hosted
a concert featuring Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell and Fabian. Ahead of the
concert, Tioga Downs invited the American Red Cross to set up a table in the
rotunda, collecting donations for Hurricane Harvey victims.
The organization was able to collect
$2950 from our generous patrons. Jeff Gural, owner of Tioga Downs, matched that
number, bringing the final donation to approximately $5900.
“The
people of the Southern Tier know firsthand the devastating impact flooding can
have on a community,” Gural said. “It’s my hope that those affected by
Hurricane Harvey know they are present in our minds, and that this donation
will help them heal and rebuild.”
