HEART OF CANAL STREET

Improving lives of children in southeastern Wisconsin

At the Heart of it all

Giving has always been at the heart of who we are, and that heart is in our name: Heart of Canal Street. Since 1994, Potawatomi Casino | Hotel’s signature community program has partnered with local children’s charities to help improve the lives of children by putting food on tables, helping kids stay safe and encouraging an appreciation of the arts. In partnership with the Heart of Canal Street charities, Potawatomi is truly helping give the gift of a promising future to area children.

About Heart of Canal Street

• Since its beginnings, the Heart of Canal Street program has contributed more than $20 million to hundreds of local children’s charities.
• In 2022, 20 deserving local children’s charities each received an equal portion of the total jackpot amount matched by Potawatomi Casino Hotel, $500,000 in total!
