Keno proudly supports Disaster Relief Australia for a fifth year

Australia has a long history of devastating natural disasters, from bushfires and floods to earthquakes and storms.

But it’s their increase in frequency and severity that’s making it even more critical to support disaster recovery organisations that help Aussie communities get back on their feet.

Our Keno brand is proud to today announce a donation of $200,000 to Disaster Relief Australia (DRA), a not-for-profit that deploys relief teams to help communities during, after and, in some cases before, devastation strikes.

“Moving into our fifth year of support of DRA makes so much sense. Keno supports licensed venues, which are often the cornerstone of their communities, particularly during times of need,” our GM Licensed Venue Operations (Keno) Paul Malek said.

Our support goes beyond funding too, with Keno venues helping spread the word when volunteering opportunities arise and often acting as operation headquarters for DRA relief efforts.

This week is also National Volunteer Week – a great time to celebrate all those who lend a hand, including our customers and team members on the ground with DRA helping communities in need.

“Without the in-kind, financial and practical support from corporations and organisations across Australia, we quite simply could not run our operations. We could not help those impacted by disaster back on the road to recovery. We are proud to partner with Keno and welcome the ongoing and valuable support,” DRA Chief Executive Officer Geoff Evans.
