Caesars Entertainment’s employees and its associated chefs and entertainers have organized $2 million in donations to assist those affected by the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.

“This senseless tragedy has forever impacted the lives of so many, and we are committed to offering resources to help those affected and to support the community organizations who will need our ongoing assistance,” said Mark Frissora, chief executive officer and president of Caesars Entertainment.

Caesars Entertainment is working alongside its celebrity chef partners to schedule an event to honor victims and responders.

Chefs who have committed to join Caesars Entertainment in planning this event include Michael Chow, Giada de Laurentiis, Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Steve Martorano, Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhi, Frank Pellegrino Jr., Gordon Ramsay and Guy Savoy.

Caesars Entertainment will be making contributions along with entertainers Celine Dion and Ringo Starr, who have pledged to donate show proceeds to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre.

The company also is continuing to provide support by delivering food and supplies to hospitals for staff and victims’ families, lodging for volunteers and coordinating blood drives to help replenish the depleted supply.
