Belated Christmas Party for Children of Bexon and Marc
Treasure Bay Casino staff celebrated Christmas in March with the children of the Bexon and Marc community. Staff held a belated Christmas party for the children of Bexon and Marc who were affected by the Christmas Eve tropical trough.
We, the staff at Treasure Bay Casino, are passionate about assisting our communities in any way possible. Our volunteers and staff worked tirelessly to ensure this was a fun event for the children.
This community outreach initiative was a united effort led by the Finance department, staff and community volunteers, and many of the Treasure Bay business partners. The children were kept entertained with hours of party festivities. They played games, received gifts and had lots of eats and drinks. The generous offerings were provided free to the children, all made possible by our many business partners and staff. It was a huge undertaking but the reward of seeing the children happy and creating such a memory for them was worth it. A very big thank you to our business partners, volunteers who helped on the day, and a special thank you to all the Treasure Bay Staff for their contributions!
