"With over 155,000 votes cast in Community Aces Challenge and
over 300 applications to participate, we were thrilled with the
response to Isle's first charitable contest on social media," said
Virginia McDowell, Isle's president
and chief executive officer. "As we watched the results and saw how
hard all of the charities were working to garner votes, we decided
to add a third place prize to the competition."
"The 150 participating nonprofit organizations registered in the
fourth quarter of 2014 and coordinated their own individual voting
campaigns between Feb. 1 and March 20,
2015," said McDowell. "We commend the efforts of all the
organizations in the Challenge! Each organization has a mission
dedicated to enhance the communities we all share and we look
forward to seeing the funds put to use."
Community Aces Challenge is a social media based contest
designed for nonprofit projects which improve the quality of life
in the communities where Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. operates. The
competition was conducted in two categories, so that smaller
communities competed with other small communities, and large
communities competed with other large communities. Two $15,000 grants, two $10,000 grants and two $5,000 grants were awarded by Isle's Community
Aces Fund administered by the Greater Saint Louis Community
Foundation.
