In 2007, $73 million raised through charitable gaming activities was contributed to support community projects and programs such as, schools, libraries, scholarships, school athletic programs, fire departments, youth camps, crisis centers, disabled citizens, medical research, senior citizen programs, soup kitchens, and many more. Without the funding derived from charitable gaming, many of these invaluable community projects would not exist.
