Scientific Games has continued its efforts to provide Hurricane Michael recovery with a $25,000 donation to the Georgia Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture.
The donation comes as Georgia’s governor seeks funding from state lawmakers for hurricane aid in the southern part of the state. Scientific Games is a major business partner of the Georgia Lottery and the company's global lottery headquarters are located in metro-Atlanta.
Georgia State Senator John Wilkinson, Agriculture and Consumer Affairs chairman, said: “Following the unprecedented devastation caused by Hurricane Michael, Georgia farmers and their families have shown great resilience. We have a long road to recovery, and with the help and tremendous support from friends like Scientific Games we are one step closer to rebuilding.”
Jim Kennedy, Scientific Games’ group chief executive of lottery, said: “The farmers in Georgia are the backbone of the state where our global lottery headquarters and 1,200 employees are located, where we serve one of our biggest lottery customers and where millions of players enjoy the games we have created over the last several decades. We want to support the recovery of one of the most important industries in Georgia following Hurricane Michael.”
