Macau, May 13, 2015 – Through the generosity of its employees, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. today donated MOP1,000,000 to Macau Red Cross to support the charity’s emergency assistance and relief efforts in Nepal. The donation is a combination of individual contributions from employees, matched by the company. While this is not the first time the company has matched donations, this is a very significant amount achieved in a short period of time, demonstrating employees’ active support in extending a helping hand to those in need.
The MOP1 million cheque was presented to Ms. Chiang Sao Meng, Vice President of Central Council of Macau Red Cross, by Ms. Linda Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. "We are deeply saddened by the disaster," said Ms. Linda Chen. “Some of our Wynn family members have been personally affected by the earthquake and we wish to support them in every possible way in their time of need. We offer our sincere condolences to all those affected and hope the donation can go some way to helping people in Nepal rebuild their lives and communities.”
Wynn Macau has also partnered with Clean the World, a non-profit soap-recycling organization, to donate 1,000 personal hygiene kits for the earthquake victims. The kits include necessities like shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, recycled soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, razors and message cards carrying heartfelt wishes. Wynn Macau’s volunteer team, WE Volunteer, joined the Clean the World team from Hong Kong to pack the personal hygiene kits, which will be shipped to Nepal by Clean the World.
