Holland Casino Highlights Philanthropic Efforts Through Community Investment Programs
Summary
Holland Casino gathered approximately €170,000 for the Fight Cancer Foundation through donations collected across six locations. The Scheveningen, Breda, Nijmegen, Venlo, Valkenburg, and Eindhoven branches reached a combined total of €167,904 for this health-focused organization. Customers provided most of the contributions through unused tickets, cash, and chips placed in designated donation boxes at these casino locations.
Employees at each branch also took part in fundraising activities. Workers organized and participated in local Swim to Fight Cancer events to boost donation totals. Staff members drove these charitable initiatives by proposing organizations they knew about or had personal connections with, according to Central and Southern Regions Manager Marcel Knols.
The 2025 charitable work extended beyond cancer research. Holland Casino supported multiple organizations throughout the year, including the Amsterdam Rainbow Group and the Swiffers Hoeve animal shelter in Nieuwe Wetering.

Knols emphasized that employee involvement reflects Holland Casino’s position within the community.

Staff members gain satisfaction from supporting causes they care about while organizations receive both monetary support and volunteer time. This approach allows workers to demonstrate their skills outside normal business operations while creating positive community impact.
