Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City donates to local charities for sixth anniversary

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City celebrated its sixth anniversary by donating $6,000 each to six local organizations. The recipients include the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, Jewish Family Services, Covenant House, Hope One, the ARC of Atlantic County, and AC Pride.

“While music is a part of Hard Rock’s DNA, philanthropy is a part of our soul. Since opening in 2018, Hard Rock Atlantic City has made intentional efforts to keep our charitable giving local, ensuring the residents of Atlantic City are our number one beneficiary," George Goldhoff, president of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, said in a statement.

“We are thrilled to announce yet another effort to impact our community as we recognize and celebrate six deserving charities who provide resources to some of the most vulnerable and underserved members of our local community,” he added.

To mark its sixth anniversary on June 28, Hard Rock staff packed 600 birthday-themed food boxes for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. The celebrations also feature entertainment, fireworks, and casino promotions.
