Atlantic City's Hard Rock Hotel & Casino gifts $50,000 towards a youth development initiative
Hard Rock Atlantic City Donates $50,000 to NAN Tech World for Youth Development
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City has shown its commitment to the local community and youth empowerment by donating $50,000 to NAN Tech World, a youth development program based in Atlantic City. This generous donation will help expand year-round, paid employment opportunities for local youth aged 14β24 and support team leaders who mentor the participants.
NAN Tech World, a programme focused on building leadership, career readiness, and community impact, exposes young people to various industries such as technology, healthcare, public service, the arts, and entrepreneurship. The donation aims to broaden these opportunities, thereby enhancing career readiness and community engagement among Atlantic City's youth.
George Goldhoff, President of Hard Rock Atlantic City, made a statement celebrating seven years of success, growth, and community connection. He emphasised that this donation reflects Hard Rock Atlantic City's ongoing commitment to community connection and youth empowerment as part of its anniversary celebration.
The donation was made through Rege Behe, and it was announced with the involvement of Hard Rock Atlantic City President George Goldhoff and NAN Tech Worldβs founder, Rev. Steffie Bartley, Northeast regional director of the National Action Network. The donation from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City will facilitate expansion of employment opportunities for Atlantic City youth and enable NAN Tech World to offer year-round jobs.
Hard Rock International Chairman & CEO Jim Allen, one of the owners of Hard Rock Atlantic City, along with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Jack Morris, Joe Jingoli, and Michael Jingili, the Tri-State Partners of Hard Rock Atlantic City, are all contributing to this noble cause. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City's actions align with its core motto to 'Love All - Serve All'.
In summary, the donation from Hard Rock Atlantic City supports NAN Tech World's mission to prepare local youth for careers through mentorship and hands-on experiences. This generous gift serves to broaden paid employment and leadership opportunities, thus enhancing career readiness and community engagement in Atlantic City's youth. Hard Rock Atlantic City's ongoing commitment to community outreach is evident in this donation, as it strives to build a vibrant local community.
The philanthropic contribution from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City extends beyond its core motto to 'Love All - Serve All', as it delves into education-and-self-development programs, not only focusing on their casino-culture and casino-games. In light of this, the $50,000 donation to NAN Tech World aims to develop the future leaders and engage the community by offering employment opportunities in industries such as technology, healthcare, public service, the arts, and entrepreneurship, seemingly distancing itself from the casino-and-gambling sphere.
