The entire world has been shocked and stunned at the images of vast swathes of Australia on fire as the country battles some of the worst bushfires in its history.
With the fires coinciding with the holding of the 2020 Aussie Millions, Crown Resorts have been helping to raise money for those affected, promising to match any staff donations to bushfire relief funds. They have also promised to donate a bottle of water for every bottle of water sold on its premises.
Back in November, A$1 million (~US$695,500) was pledged to the Rural Fire Service of New South Wales following the fire's outbreaks.
Now, an additional A$4 million (~US$2,700,000) will be spent to support volunteer services in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, all of which Crown operates resorts in, and to charitable organisations providing relief to affected people and wildlife nationally.
