San Diego, CA–Sycuan Casino Resort presented a total of $187,000 to 28 different local charities at its 16th annual Holiday Gift Giving ceremony.

Members of the Sycuan Tribal Council and leadership team individually select a charity to support on behalf of Sycuan. The selection of charities is made every year in December, Sycuan officials said.

“This event is always such a special one because members of our team are given the opportunity to select a charity partner that is meaningful to them,” said Cody Martinez, chairman, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. “Our event this year is also very exciting because we’ve broken another record making 2022 the biggest Gift Giving Ceremony we’ve ever had.”
