CSR Testimonials
Caesars Foundation
|
Caesars Foundation is a private foundation funded by businesses owned or operated by Caesars Entertainment. The Foundation is the entity through which Caesars Entertainment funds programs and projects of $5,000 or more, as well as not-for-profit giving requirements imposed by certain operating jurisdictions. The Foundation's objective is to strengthen organizations and programs in the communities where its employees and their families live and work.
|
Caesars Foundation focuses its philanthropic giving on three distinct areas, one of which s helping older individuals live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. Its strategy in this area is to support nonprofit advocacy and service-delivery organizations dedicated to helping older individuals live independently, maintain optimal health and proper nutrition, avoid social isolation, and enjoy mental and physical vitality through every stage of the aging process.
|
Caesars Foundation has provided long-standing financial support to Second Wind Dreams®, a nonprofit working to change the perception of aging through the fulfillment of dreams and the offering of educational programs that help us understand the challenges facing those with dementia. Since 2009, financial support from the Foundation combined with assistance from Caesars team member volunteers, whom we call HEROs, have helped fulfill dreams and host events for more than 3,500 individuals living in elder care communities.
|
The longevity of this relationship has garnered important learnings for working with HEROs and a clear understanding of how Second Wind Dreams® can help serve the elder population. The Second Wind Dreams programs give us a unique and exciting way to engage HEROs through community action and effect real change for an underserved, frequently marginalized group of people. This happens by making dreams come true for our forgotten elders, initiating volunteer events and activities in elder care communities, providing holiday gifts to nursing home elders and by creating more sensitive care for those with dementia.
|
Our longstanding support of groups such as Second Wind Dreams® offers evidence of our intention to see our commitments through. And this long-term approach is working for all our partners and their constituents. As the Foundation continues to marshal its resources toward improving the lives of older individuals, we look forward to continuing our support for organizations such as Second Wind Dreams® that take a positive approach to fulfilling this mission.

“Optima and Second Wind Dreams have a common mission to improve the experience of aging, which makes our partnership a natural fit,” said Josh Pickus, CEO of Optima. “We have been looking for an organization that is equally passionate about tangibly making seniors’ lives better, and we are thrilled to have found that in Second Wind Dreams. We look forward to making beautiful dreams come true together.”

In partnering with Second Wind Dreams, Optima funds dream events for some very special long-term care residents. These dreams can range from reuniting seniors with their loved ones to getting them back on the dance floor or giving them the opportunity to spend a day in their favorite place in the world. As part of Optima’s commitment to helping seniors realize their dreams, the company’s employees volunteer at long-term care facilities, where they will provide care packages and in-person support and companionship to residents and have the chance to uncover their wishes and fulfill their dreams.
