Harrah's Cherokee presented
a check for $24,800 to Western Carolina University officials and Paws, the
Catamount mascot. Monies will be used to support student initiatives in
addition to Catamount athletics.
Jamie Raynor, Assistant Vice
Chancellor for Development Advancement was excited to continue the partnership.
"Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort and Western Carolina University (WCU)
continue to be two of the strongest economic engines in Western North Carolina.
The WCU Foundation is grateful for the support of Harrah's Cherokee Casino for
the WCU College of Business, alumni engagement, continuing education
initiatives like Life@WesternCarolina, community and student engagement such as
Mountain Heritage Day and the Tuckaseegee River cleanup project, and Catamount
Athletics."
Regional Vice President of
Human Resources and Community Relations Jo Ray said that the ongoing
partnership is instrumental to Harrah's Cherokee. "Education is one
of the key areas of focus for us. WCU is a huge presence in the area and
makes a major difference in the lives of so many through education, and this is
really a win-win for everyone involved."
