Caesars honored for corporate citizenship
LAS VEGAS — Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to increasing volunteering, named Caesars Entertainment a 2025 honoree of The Civic 50, recognizing the top community-minded companies in the United States according to an annual survey. This marks Caesars 11th year receiving the honor.
For more than a decade, The Civic 50 has
served as the national standard for corporate
citizenship and showcases how
leading companies are moving social
impact and community to the core
of their business. This comprehensive survey for companies with annual revenues of at least $1 billion evaluates the scale, sophistication and impact of employee volunteering, community engagement and corporate philanthropy work.
Caesars Entertainment is parent company to four Mississippi properties: Harrah’s Gulf Coast, Horseshoe Casino Tunica, Isle of Capri Lula and Trop Greenville.
“Caesars Entertainment is dedicated to giving back to our communities. It’s a privilege for us to have the ability to do so through multiple channels, including monetary donations and volunteerism,” said Kiersten Flint, senior vice president of corporate social responsibility and internal communications for Caesars Entertainment.
“We have a very dedicated team member base of HERO volunteers who go out into our communities across the country and donate their time and money to making our communities better. So much so that we launched an Extraordinary HERO program last year to celebrate these team members who make our company and the world a better place. It’s an honor to be recognized by Points of Life for the 11th year and celebrate our team’s dedication,” Flint continued.
Caesars Foundation donated more than $3.4 million to various nonprofit organizations across the country, which
is part of an overall community investment from Caesars Entertainment of more than $71 million in 2024. Caesars team members also dedicated 93,000 volunteer hours within their communities throughout the year.
“Companies like Caesars Entertainment are leading the way in showing how social impact benefits their employees’ well- being, strengthens the communities where they do business, and brings value and meaning to their work,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, Points of Light. “Their efforts provide a model for others looking to bring the benefits of volunteering and social impact to their workforce and they’re extremely deserving of this recognition.”
Caesars Entertainment will soon release its 16th annual CSR report, sharing the company’s work in the three categories of its CSR framework, PEOPLE PLANET PLAY.
