「天河大賭場」總裁兼總經理Michael J. Facenda表示:「社區夥伴關係是我們所有工作的核心。我們是威爾頓部落及其長遠願景的延伸——致力支持社區、創造機遇，並傳承部落珍貴的文化價值。這項榮譽充分肯定了我們團隊成員、管理團隊以及非牟利合作夥伴的共同努力。無論是透過資金支持、義工服務、營運資源投入，或積極聆聽並回應社區需求，我們始終致力協助建設更繁榮、更具活力的大沙加緬度地區。」
隨著「天河大賭場」即將於8月15日的四週年誌慶，這項殊榮亦彰顯出賭場的業務發展與社區貢獻同步提升。自2022年開業以來，「天河大賭場」已發展成為北加州首屈一指的娛樂勝地之一，為地區創造大量就業機會、帶動旅遊發展，並促進大沙加緬度地區的經濟增長。
最近，「天河大賭場」2026年賭桌遊戲累積大獎派彩總額突破$600萬，其中一名沙加緬度賓客更於Ultimate Texas Hold’em™ 累積彩金中贏得$662,522巨獎。連同近期啟用的擴建博彩娛樂場及擁有1,600個車位的全新停車大樓，均反映出賭場持續發展的強勁動力，以及對所服務社區的長遠承諾。

在此次獲獎提名案例中，其中一項重點項目聚焦於紓緩糧食短缺問題。2025年節日假期期間，當地食物銀行面臨前所未有的需求壓力。為協助維持糧食供應穩定，「天河大賭場」與威爾頓部落向 Elk Grove Food Bank Services 提供超過$65,000直接資助。資金來源包括企業贊助、配對捐款及年度員工食物募捐活動所籌集的善款。該機構每月為數以千計有需要人士提供服務。
同一期間，位於Elk Grove的餐廳 Todo Un Poco 為 Rancho Cordova Food Bank 準備了200份捐贈餐膳，卻面臨運輸困難。當「天河大賭場」得悉有關情況後，其倉儲團隊立即調派貨車，將全部200份餐膳一次過安全送達目的地，及時支援有需要的社區居民。這次合作充分展現出團隊主動回應社區需求及迅速解決問題的企業文化。
此外，「天河大賭場」亦積極投資長遠社區基建發展。透過與威爾頓部落合作，雙方共同提供超過$100萬額外資金，用於Elk Grove市道路改善工程，進一步提升居民、學校及商業區的交通安全及便利性。

SKY RIVER CASINO EARNS SACRAMENTO BUSINESS JOURNAL’S CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP AWARD AS COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS AND
2026 JACKPOT PAYOUTS REACH NEW MILESTONES
ELK GROVE, Calif. (August XX, 2026) –– In the lead-up to its fourth anniversary on Aug. 15, Sky River Casino was recognized on July 23 by the Sacramento Business Journal with its Innovative Company Corporate Citizenship Award, honoring organizations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to supporting local nonprofits through charitable giving, volunteerism, board leadership and community partnerships.
Guided by four core pillars—public safety and community development, community health and well-being, cultural enrichment, and workforce development with an emphasis on adult education—Sky River Casino focuses its community investments on addressing critical regional needs while creating long-term, sustainable impact.
“Community partnership is at the heart of everything we do. We at Sky River Casino are an extension of Wilton Rancheria and their long-term vision – supporting community, creating opportunity and honoring the Tribe’s enduring cultural values,” said Sky River Casino’s President and General Manager, Michael J. Facenda. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our team members, our leadership team, and our nonprofit partners who work every day to strengthen the communities we all call home. Whether through financial support, volunteerism, operational resources, or simply listening and responding to community needs, we remain committed to helping build a stronger, more vibrant Sacramento region.”
As Sky River Casino approaches its fourth anniversary on August 15, the recognition highlights how the property’s growth has gone hand in hand with its commitment to community impact. Since opening in 2022, Sky River Casino has become one of Northern California’s premier entertainment destinations, generating new jobs, expanding tourism, and boosting economic opportunities throughout the Greater Sacramento region.
Most recently, the property surpassed $6 million in table game jackpot payouts awarded in 2026, after a Sacramento guest won $662,522 on the Ultimate Texas Hold’em™ Progressive Jackpot. Alongside the recent opening of its expanded gaming floor and 1,600-space parking garage, these milestones reflect the property’s continued momentum and its ongoing investment in the communities it serves.
In 2025, Sky River Casino contributed more than $2.4 million in community-focused partnerships and invested more than $200,000 in charitable donations, supporting organizations and initiatives throughout the Greater Sacramento region. Beneficiaries included Sacramento State Athletics, Visit Sacramento, the Sacramento LGBT Community Center, Elk Grove Food Bank Services, and numerous nonprofit organizations focused on health, adult education, economic opportunity, and community well-being.
Among the examples highlighted in the nomination was a collaborative effort to address food insecurity. During the 2025 holiday season, local food banks faced a heightened demand. To help stabilize access to food during this period, Sky River Casino and Wilton Rancheria provided more than $65,000 in direct financial assistance to Elk Grove Food Bank Services who serve thousands of people monthly. This assistance came from sponsorships, matched donations, and contributions raised through an annual team member food drive.
During this same period, Elk Grove–based restaurant Todo Un Poco faced a significant challenge after preparing 200 meals overnight to donate to the Rancho Cordova Food Bank: they had no way to transport such a large delivery. Once the need became known, the Sky River Warehouse Team stepped in, deploying a box truck to deliver all 200 meals safely, efficiently, and in a single trip—bringing timely support to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. This was a straightforward, shared effort: one request, a practical solution, and an immediate result. It reflects a workplace culture where suggestions are taken seriously, and teams are empowered to act.
Sky River also invests in long‑term community infrastructure. In partnership with Wilton Rancheria, Sky River Casino jointly provided over $1 million in supplemental funding for roadway improvements in the City of Elk Grove, enhancing safety and accessibility for residents, schools, and businesses.
Across these efforts, a clear guiding focus shapes Sky River Casino’s approach to community engagement: listening to local needs, working in partnership, and responding where support can make the greatest impact. As Sky River Casino celebrates four years of serving the region, recognition from the Sacramento Business Journal underscores the commitment to community partnership that has been central to its growth since opening in 2022. With plans for a future hotel resort expansion, Sky River remains focused on creating new opportunities, strengthening local partnerships and supporting the long-term vitality of the Greater Sacramento region.
Sky River Casino
Since opening in August 2022, the casino has become a premier entertainment destination featuring over 130,000 square feet of gaming, 2,500 slot machines, 81 table games, and 18 restaurants, bars, and lounge destinations, along with a 1,600-space five-story parking structure.
The casino recently broke ground on a significant hotel resort expansion that is expected to generate regional economic impact through job creation, increased tourism, and long-term investment in the local community. Planned additions include a 300-room luxury hotel, a new porte cochère with expanded valet service, a full-service day spa and salon, an outdoor pool, and approximately 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting, event, and entertainment space.
