Hundreds of veteran and fraternal organizations in Minnesota are benefiting from charitable gaming to help support the posts and raise more money for local charities, including American Legion Post 109 in Two Harbors.
According to a release from the post, the E-Bingo machines provide a source of low-stakes, low-risk entertainment for members of veteran’s clubs and fraternal organizations while raising much needed dollars for local charities.
At least 30% of the revenue that charitable gaming raises for each post goes to other charities in their local communities including youth programs, emergency shelters, fire departments and senior centers.
“E-Tabs and E-Bingo are a new source of fundraising for our organization, and additional resources to help us provide community assistance,” American Legion Post 109 Commander Chris Belfield said. “These new machines are the modern form of the paper tabs our patrons have been playing for years. It’s more attractive, engaging, entertaining, and when people play, we all win.” Remembering, paper pull tabs will still be available.
The local American Legion Post has donated more than $31,000 annually to support veterans charities, local schools, youth programs, homeless shelters, and food pantries.
Post 109 teamed with 3 Diamonds Corporation, a Minnesota-based distributor of charitable and social gaming products, to supply the new machines. 3 Diamond Corporation was established in 1984 as a local family owned business. Their company has become the leading distributor of gaming supplies in Minnesota. Our customers can be confident in 3 Diamonds ability to assist charitable organizations in profitability, knowledge and the latest technology to ensure their success.
