Harrah's and Harveys donate $10,000 to Tahoe Rim Trail Association

Two South Shore casinos recently gave a donation of $10,000 to the Tahoe Rim Trail for their volunteer stewardship program.

Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe's contribution will help the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) achieve their goals of expanding opportunities for community members and tourists to experience nature, improve trail users’ safety, reduce negative environmental impacts, and create a desire to protect and restore Tahoe’s special places within the community.

According to TRT, the program addresses, “recreational access and tourism, environmental health, and volunteerism; three major components to regional quality to build the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts. The project’s work to maintain and restore trails ensures that community members and tourists have access to safe and sustainable local trails that get them outdoors and moving.”

“Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe are pleased and excited to be able to continue our support of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association,” says Brad Belhouse, Regional President for Caesars Entertainment operations in Northern Nevada. “Through the efforts of our local HERO team member volunteer program and the generosity of the Caesars Foundation, we’re able to lend a hand to a truly amazing feature of our community like the Tahoe Rim Trail.”

In 1992, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe donated $5,000 to TRT for their "Adopt-A-Mile” of the Rim Trail which helped build the trail when it was still under initial construction. The “Harrah’s Mile” is located on the Nevada side near the Nevada –California border behind and above Harrah’s Hotel and Casino.
