In its home state of Rhode Island, The Bally's Corporation has exclusive control over commercial casino operations. This week, the casino operator announced a significant donation to the state's only public community college as part of the company's continuous commitment to civic stewardship.
Bally's announced a $5 million gift to the Community College of Rhode Island on Thursday. The donation doubles the size of the college's endowment and is the greatest in the public school's almost 45-year existence.
According to school authorities, the funds will be utilized to expand avenues to further education and offer students interested in a career in the casino and gaming industries financial alternatives. Additionally, the money will help pay for tuition for current Bally's workers who want to expand their skill sets.
