No sooner had it been reported that the operators of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa in Oklahoma had donated thousands of dollars to local nonprofit and volunteer organizations and volunteer hours working on a local community center another act of great kindness was extended to the Northeastern Oklahoma community. The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa donated close to 3,000 frozen turkeys to several organizations to help stock kitchens aimed at helping hungry Oklahomans. Some of these donations came as a surprise to the recipient organizations as part of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa’s Anything Can Happen initiative to support the community. Of the more than $1 million the casino’s operators make in donations close to $100,000 has gone to Anything Can Happen.

The Salvation Army received 1,000 frozen turkeys. This was the largest turkey donation the Tulsa Metro Area Command has ever received. The Salvation Army gives to more than 5,000 families each year. They have been expressing the need for more donations this year. Another surprise donation of 100 frozen turkeys was made to the Tulsa Boy’s Home. “What a generous donation this is. The timing is perfect!” exclaimed Executive Director for the Tulsa Boy’s Home Michael Conway. He thanked the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa, and noted that the turkeys, “…will go a long way for us in feeding the boys.”

The best part about the donations is it comes directly from he employees of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Every year the casino offers its employees the chance to take a turkey home or donate it. Casino workers decided to give. “It’s a tough time for many families, and our employees responded very generously by choosing to donate more turkeys than ever to our neighbors. Other donations were made to Community Food Bank, Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Iron Gate, Meals on Wheels, and Cherokee Nation food distribution centers.
