ERIE, PA., (June 25, 2024) – Presque Isle Downs & Casino (“Presque Isle”) recently celebrated their incredible partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Erie with some friendly competition. The annual Kiss A Pig fundraiser is held among community leaders in Erie to raise money for the children served by the Boys & Girls Club of Erie, which enables youth to improve their educational and technological skills, and to receive assistance in solving emotional and inter-personal problems.
The team at Presque Isle implemented a three-month long ‘Give $5, Get $10’ program for the Boys & Girls Club of Erie, and the team placed ten donation boxes throughout the property for players to donate cash, slot tickets, table chips, and racing vouchers. Every team member was engaged to help raise money, including setting up golf scrambles, celebrity bartending events, and of course, the famous Kiss A Pig event.
