2024 was an exciting year for Pennsylvania Skill Charitable Giving, Powered by Pace-O-Matic. We gave away more than $850,000 in donations to deserving organizations across Pennsylvania.
Along with helping worthy individuals and organizations, we also restructured our charitable giving program this year. We created an advisory board made up of skill game operators and community leaders. This group meets regularly and helps Pennsylvania Skill identify worthy organizations.
Giving back has always been a top priority for Pennsylvania Skill, especially in communities where our games are played. Throughout the year, we donated to many causes, including animal shelters, libraries, transitional housing for teens, and a program to allow high school students to receive a drone pilot’s license.
We purchased defibrillators and thermal imaging cameras for small community fire departments, funded Thanksgiving meals for first responders, and helped create scholarships for children of wounded veterans.
In addition, we started a new program where Pennsylvania Skill will match up to $10,000 per week donated by an operator to an IRS-approved charitable organization. So far, the match program has benefited multiple fire companies and helped fund a breakfast for veterans, a program for homeless veterans, a Hanukkah event at the state capitol, and a breast cancer fundraising walk.
Pennsylvania Skill has been making donations in Pennsylvania since 2018. In that time, we have donated more than $5 million to local organizations and individuals in need. It truly makes my heart swell when I can personally deliver a check, knowing it will make a positive impact.
To our Pennsylvania Skill operators who collaborated with our charitable giving efforts last year, thank you, and we look forward to continuing our partnership in 2025 and beyond!
