The Nash Casino has announced a record-breaking month of charitable contributions, donating nearly $2.3 million to 12 New Hampshire nonprofit organizations in March. This substantial sum was generated from the combined revenues of games of chance, historical horse racing machines, and video lottery terminals. Since its opening 13 months ago, The Nash has generated an unprecedented $21.3 million for local charities. The casino's General Manager, Eric Althaus, highlighted the impact on organizations serving those in need, such as hungry families and disadvantaged youth. Specific recipients included the Corpus Christi Food Pantry, Nashua Children's Home, and the NH District 1 Little League. The funds are allocated according to state law, with 35% of games of chance revenues and 8.75% of HHR machine revenues set aside for nonprofit partners. The Nash has also adjusted its schedule to five-day weeks to serve more organizations. The contributions will allow groups like Lantern Light Camps to expand access to summer programs for more children and enable Operation Care for Troops to significantly increase the number of care packages sent to service members and veterans.
