Grand Island Casino donates nearly $4,000 to the Central Nebraska Humane Society
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) – The animals at the Central Nebraska Humane Society are getting a boost from the Grand Island Casino.
The money came from their ‘Giving Back Program’. The program works by guests donating $10, then the casino would give them $10 in free slot play, then that money goes to a different non-profit each month.
Todd Wainwright is the president of the humane society’s board, and he says partnership with other parts of the community is important.
“We operate as tight a budget as we can at the Central Nebraska Humane Society, so every dollar really matters, and when we get an organization such as this to reach out to offer to donate nearly $4,000 goes a long way for the care and treatment of the animals,” Wainwright said.
Grand Island Casino Director of Marketing Alison Nicholson said this month was a personal mission for her.
“My whole life I have worked with, you know, either the Humane Society or the rescues,” Nicholson said. “My grandfather instilled that in me many, many years ago, and so in a way it’s, it’s honoring his legacy by still giving back. Plus, great animals. People don’t realize that you can find your best friend out there.”
Nicholson said if anyone wants to donate and get the free play, they should go to the Resort Club inside the casino for more information.

Joining Miami (Ohio)’s Javon Tracy and UCLA’s Logan Loya, Nebraska transfer wide receiver Malachi Coleman has committed to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
He has three years of eligibility remaining.
Coleman was a high school All-American, a four-star prospect, and a Top 100 recruit according to 247 Sports. He saw the field as a true freshman with the Huskers, catching eight passes for 139 receiving yards and one touchdown, before redshirting this season as a sophomore. Coleman brings size and speed to the Gophers’ wide receiver room.
Coleman, Tracy, and Loya will all have the opportunity to stake their claim atop the depth chart at wide receiver, as Le’Meke Brockington and Cristian Driver are Minnesota’s only returning wide receivers with game experience.
Nebraska closes out the 2024 season on Saturday, Dec. 28 in the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College.
Inside Nebraska’s Tim Verghese and Steve Marik break down the new-look Huskers, with slight changes at nearly every position due to transfer portal departures, injuries and opt outs. The two discuss a handful of underclassmen that could be in line for bigger roles on Saturday and a few other players they’re intrigued to see in action.
To close, the two share their keys to victory for Nebraska, what to expect out of Boston College and what a win would ultimately mean for the program
