Scientific Games makes $100,000 donation to Hurricane Michael Relief efforts

Scientific Games Corporation announced at an event in Panama City, Florida that the Company is donating $100,000 to disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle. Half of the donation will support the Bay Law Enforcement Assistance Foundation and the other half will support the Florida Disaster Fund. Scientific Games is a global leader in the gaming and lottery industries, and is a major business partner with the Florida Lottery since the Lottery’s inception in 1988.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis said, “As a Bay County resident myself, it brings tears to my eyes to see folks giving back in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. The storm was strong, but our people are stronger and we will rebuild. I appreciate the donations of Scientific Games and the many other private sector partners who have stepped up to help families hurting in the Panhandle.â€
Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said, “I am overwhelmed by the generosity of Scientific Games toward our community. Their donation will help many of my deputies who have lost everything in Hurricane Michael. It has been heart-breaking to see the serious losses in our community following the storm, but the silver lining in it all is seeing incredible private sector partners like Scientific Games step forward and provide relief in our time of need.â€
Representative Jay Trumbull said, “This is a wonderful contribution to support the hard working men and women of the Bay County Sheriff’s Office. We have lost much in Hurricane Michael but we have also gained some tremendous support from our friends and for that I am grateful.â€
Scientific Games Chief Group Executive of Lottery Jim Kennedy said, “We have a very strong connection to Florida. Millions of Floridians have played our Florida Lottery games over the last 30 years, and we have a very dedicated base of Scientific Games employees here in the state. So it is important to us to follow Governor Rick Scott and Governor-Elect Ron DeSantis’ lead and help those in need following Hurricane Michael. We want to do everything we can to help Florida come back stronger than ever before following the disaster.â€
