Boyd Gaming Corporation has donated more than $215,000 to non-profit organizations across the US through its 18th annual Trees of Hope charitable competition.

The 2025 holiday competition involved 175 non-profit organizations across 10 states, with participants decorating trees at Boyd Gaming properties nationwide.

Winners were selected based on more than 100,000 votes cast by guests at 24 participating Boyd Gaming locations.

Since launching the Trees of Hope initiative in 2007, Boyd Gaming has donated nearly $2m through the annual competition to support non-profit organizations across the country.

Winning organizations represented diverse causes including animal welfare, children's services, veteran support and community development.

In Nevada, winners included Cure 4 The Kids at Aliante, US Vets at Cannery and Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada at Gold Coast.

Other state winners included Wildlife Prairie Park in Illinois, Children's Advocacy Center at Belterra Casino Resort in Indiana and Gulf Coast Center for Non-Violence at IP Casino Resort Spa in Mississippi.

Additional winning organizations spanned Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania, with causes ranging from animal rescue groups to arts centers and domestic violence prevention services.

Results remain pending at two properties: Amelia Belle in Louisiana and Ameristar Kansas City in Missouri.

Boyd Gaming operates casino properties across multiple jurisdictions and reported total net revenue of over $1bn for the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by its gaming operations.

The operator also began construction on a new Las Vegas Valley casino project in April, expected to launch in mid-2026.
