Horseshoe Southern Indiana takes pride in giving back, and the region is taking notice.

The casino in Elizabeth, Indiana was recently named Louisville's top corporate philanthropists according to Business First Magazine. Last year, Horseshoe donated more than $13 million to local charities, the largest amount of any company in the area. The company's generosity touches non-profits of all shapes and sizes, including Metro United Way, American Red Cross and Water Step and many others.

Horseshoe’s employees are also very charitable, donating $202,000 and spending 5,000 hours volunteering for many worthwhile causes in 2012. Hundreds of employees participate in the company’s HERO and Community Involvement Teams. These teams give back through holding donation drives, fixing up area parks and raising funds for a variety of organizations.
