Caesars Windsor donates $10K to Pride Fest

A funding boost of $10,000 was made in support of Pride Fest by Caesars Windsor Cares.

Caesars Windsor Cares celebrated Pride month with a special donation of $10,000 in support of Pride Fest.

The official announcement was made by Susanne Tomkins, manager of public relations and communications with Caesars Windsor, at Lanspeary Park Wednesday afternoon.

This money will directly support social programming designed to address the problem of social isolation.

Those initiatives provide meaningful social engagement and participation to increase connections and overcome isolation. This is especially important to foster a welcoming and safe space for people who are age 50 and older of the two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and asexual adults.

Wendy Nicholson is the president of Windsor Pride Fest. Nicholson and her team are appreciative of all support, monetary or otherwise, to help fund programs that in turn assist those in need in the 2SLBBTQIA+ community.

“It means so much to us, just the support of Caesars Windsor,” said Nicholson. “Also, it’s going to help with our programs continue running. Without donations like this, our programs won’t be able to run. And every donation we get that goes to, that comes in is very welcomed.”
