Texas’ hurricane and Macau’s typhoon

Wynn donates US$7.5 million to disaster victims

Developer and operator of hotels and casinos Wynn Resorts has donated a total of US$7.5 million to those affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas (US), and Typhoon Hato in Macau. “These events, 8,000 miles apart, have affected the lives of our employees and our friends in both cities,” commented Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn.

In Macau, the company will contribute US$3.75 million to assist families and local businesses in their recovery from the typhoon. In Houston, Texas, the company has similarly committed US$3.75 million in aid.

Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn said: "It is a very sad and tragic coincidence that in two major cities where we have our employees and customers - Macau, in the People's Republic of China, and Houston, Texas - tragedy struck within a few days of each other.”

"In Macau, our employees’ homes have been damaged and their lives have been interrupted; many of them have suffered. So, too, have our customers who were caught in the grip of the typhoon. In the US, in the state of Texas, many of our customers and business associates have experienced the devastation of Hurricane Harvey,” added Wynn.

"These events, 8,000 miles apart, have affected the lives of our employees and our friends in both cities and we have felt compelled to help in some small way. Therefore, we have dedicated $7.5m to the aid of Macau and to aid in the relief of the disaster in Texas. We are proud to join the citizens of both countries who demonstrated their compassion and neighbourly affection for the unfortunate souls struck by this natural disaster,” Steve Wynn concluded.
