Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, part of Caesars Entertainment and the state’s only tribal casino to have an international management partner, is coming together for its annual “Campaign for the Cause,” a month-long campaign that is aimed at raising awareness for both women’s and men’s health issues.

Through the program, employees participate in a variety of events throughout October including a “SuperHERO Battle for the Cause” fashion show and a parade through the casino.

Caesars Entertainment properties throughout the United States compete in their own Campaign for the Cause activities to raise money for their local American Cancer Society chapters.
