Greektown Casino, the third Detroit, MI casino, will hold a fundraiser on November 8, benefiting three local charities. The exclusive, black tie, invitation only, event will be held just four days prior to its official opening slated for November 12. Proceeds will benefit the Boys Hope Girls Hope of Detroit, the Charles H. Wright Museum of Black History and the North Amrican Indian Association of Detroit. The fundraiser is part of a week-long celebration of the Greektown Casino opening. "We are proud to announce Greektown Casino's support for three terrific organizations that have made wonderful differences in the lives of people in the City of Detroit," said Marvin Beatty, a Detroit resident and one of the owners of the Greektown Casino. Boys Hope Girls Hope of Detroit provides at-risk, yet academically capable, children in the Detroit area with stable homes, positive parenting, high quality college preparatory educations, and support needed to reach their full potential. Since 1991, 100 percent of the |
program's high school graduates have gone on to college. The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is the world's largest African American historical and cultural museum. Dedicated to the preservation and presentation of African and African American history and culture, the museum offers engaging exhibits and programs for all. It features exhibition galleries, a theater, classrooms, a research library, multi-purpose rooms and a museum store. The North American Indian Association of Detroit is the oldest urban Indian organization in the United States. The association's goal is to foster and preserve Native American culture and heritage, in addition to promoting self-sufficiency for Native Americans through education assistance, employment training and awareness of available human services. |
