Resorts World Provides Students Across the State with Backpacks and Other School Supplies

Kimberly Winston| August 25, 2022

Catskills, NY and Queens, NY – Resorts World New York (RWNY) announced today its support of two non-profit organizations committed to ensuring students across the state have the necessary supplies as they head into the school year.

Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) donated $25,000 to RIVER FUND for its annual Child Poverty Awareness Day, a back-to-school program where backpacks and school supplies are distributed to more than 2,500 children. RWNYC chose to increase its donation from last year so more supplies could be purchased, allowing more local residents to take part in the program. Several employees assisted with distributing the backpacks.

Resorts World Catskills collected backpacks and other school supplies for the Town of Wallkill Boys and Girls Club’s annual Backpacks for Hope school supply drive. These backpacks will be distributed to families within Sullivan and Orange County.

“The team members at Resorts World are always eager to give and support their local community,” said Darlene Monzo, Chief Marketing Officer, Genting America’s East. “Being a generous good neighbor within the communities where we reside is a core value within our company. As one of the largest supporters of New York’s public schools, we are happy to participate in any program that helps set our students up for success.
