California State Assemblymember and Vietnam Veteran, Randy Voepel, joined Jamul Casino in presenting $10,000 to Honor Flight.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk – Jamul Casino created and sponsored a team of 40 walkers at $25 each for the October 20, 2019 event.
Dine Out for the Cure – Jamul Casino donated 10% of the sales from Prime Cut on October 17 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Brew Hop Against Hunger – Jamul Casino donated 10% of the sales from Loft 94 on September 21 to Feeding San Diego.
Back-to-School Supply Drive – Jamul Casino team members donated more than 2,000 school supply items throughout July and August 2019 to fill backpacks and assist 148 families.

Erica M. Pinto, Chairwoman of the Jamul Indian Village of California, states, “We are thrilled that we were able to partner with several organizations last year, to join them in their fight against cancer, serving our veterans, and feeding hungry San Diegans. We look forward to making 2020 another year of supporting our friends and neighbors in need.”
