Contributions & Donations
Impactful Contribution
Treasure Bay recently hosted a blood drive in
partnership with the American Red Cross, turning
the ninth floor into a dedicated donation center for
the day. Crewmembers showed up with tremendous
heart, donating 17 units of blood — a truly impactful
contribution that will support patients across the
Gulf Coast when they need it most. The generosity
of crewmembers like Vickie Scott (pictured) makes
a real difference and helps save lives.
Fill The Bus
Hard Rock partnered with United Way of South Mississippi to
Fill the Bus with school supplies for students in need. During the
month of July, Hard Rock employees stepped up to the challenge
and donated bags full of school supplies to support students so
they could focus on academic success. All supplies collected were
distributed to selected area schools in South Mississippi.
