Applications are now being accepted for Potawatomi Bingo Casino’s annual signature community program –Miracle on Canal Street.
Local non-profit organizations which serve children can find the application online at www.paysbig.com/miracle. Applications must be postmarked by Friday, June 22.
Miracle on Canal Street’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children in southeastern Wisconsin. Through funds raised from special bingo games and the generosity of Potawatomi Bingo Casino guests, the program focuses the joy of holiday giving onto those who are the hope for the future.
Since its inception in 1994, Miracle on Canal Street has contributed more than $11.5 million to more than 350 nonprofits. In 2011, 30 children’s charities in southeastern Wisconsin shared in funds totaling nearly $1 million.
Last year, Miracle on Canal Street funding improved the lives of children in our community by addressing multiple needs – from educational services to emergency shelter, from clothing needs to extracurricular activities.
Miracle funding in 2011 used contributions to train dedicated community volunteers who help abused and neglected children find safe loving homes. It also granted experiential theater for children with Autism, healthy relationship education for teen students, and new shoes to youth during the holidays.
