SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sycuan Casino Resort recently donated more than $70,000 to 21 different charities during its 2020 Holiday Gift Giving Celebration.

Each December, members of the Sycuan Tribal Council and leadership team each individually select a charity to support on behalf of Sycuan. In previous years, a breakfast event has been held at Sycuan to commemorate the special occasion.

Sycuan's General Manager, Rob Cinelli hand-delivered a donation to his charity of choice, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County.

"I picked Big Brothers Big Sisters as my charity of choice, because I've been a huge supporter of their mission for many years. The development of our youth is extremely important and the services that BBBS provides is invaluable to their future."

"We are honored to partner with the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation in a shared commitment to our community's youth, empowering them to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
