Charitable Partner Award

Potawatomi Bingo Casino & Forest County Potawatomi Community, Milwaukee

The Forest County Potawatomi Community has a rich history founded in strong tradition. One of those traditions, investing in ones’ community, calls for the Potawatomi to provide support to and form partnerships with organizations whose actions align with beliefs they cherish. The Potawatomi believe the places in which they live and work must benefit from their presence and they put those beliefs into action.

The Forest County Potawatomi Community Foundation has distributed millions of dollars annually to charitable causes, enabling those organizations to carry on work which is essential to the well being of the entire community. In 2007, the Potawatomi Community formed charitable partnerships with groups ranging from the American Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity to LaCausa, Make-a-Wish and St. Ann Center.

Potawatomi Bingo Casino makes possible the Miracle on Canal Street. Another charitable program which benefits 20 local charities each year. Since its inception, Miracle on Canal Street has allowed for seven million dollars to be distributed in our community.

Southeastern Wisconsin is truly a better place in which to live and work because of the Potawatomi Community. For their work in forming partnerships that result in a greater good for hundreds of thousands of families, friends and neighbors, the Forest County Potawatomi Community and Potawatomi Bingo Casino are awarded the Charitable Partner Award.
