LAS VEGAS, Sept. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The following
statement is from Steve Wynn, Wynn
Resorts Chairman and CEO:
"It is a very sad and tragic coincidence that in two major
cities where we have our employees and customers – Macau, in the
People's Republic of China, and Houston, Texas -- tragedy struck within a few
days of each other.
"In Macau, our employee's homes have been damaged and their
lives have been interrupted; many of them have suffered. So,
too, have our customers who were caught in the grip of the typhoon.
In the United States, in the state
of Texas, many of our customers
and business associates have experienced the devastation of
Hurricane Harvey.
"These events, 8,000 miles apart, have affected the lives of our
employees and our friends in both cities, and we have felt
compelled to help in some small way. Therefore, we have dedicated
$7.5 million dollars to the aid of
Macau and to aid in the relief of
the disaster in Texas. We are proud to join the citizens of
both countries who demonstrated their compassion and neighborly
affection for the unfortunate souls struck by this natural
disaster."
Wynn Resorts Relief Efforts in Macau and Houston:
In Macau, Wynn Resorts will contribute MOP 30
million ($3.75 million) to assist
families and local businesses in recovery from the
typhoon. The company will continue its aggressive community
volunteer efforts, which began immediately after the typhoon,
in which hundreds of Wynn employees distributed water and
supplies to the community, and now continue with cleaning up
and helping to rebuild affected neighborhoods. Wynn volunteers
have also worked on community clean-up efforts on both the
Macau Peninsula and in
Cotai.
In Houston, Texas, the company
has similarly committed $3.75 million
dollars to aid in helping those affected by the hurricane,
with a focus on the financially disadvantaged.
