For the 18th year, Boyd Gaming and its properties spread holiday cheer and much-needed support for local non-profits through Boyd’s nationwide Trees of Hope™ competition.

During the 2025 competition, Boyd donated more than $215,000 to 175 non-profit organizations across the country, bringing total donations to nearly $2 million since Boyd began Trees of Hope in 2007.

In 2025, Boyd guests cast more than 100,000 votes at the company’s 24 participating properties in 10 states.
