Caesars Entertainment Recognized as One of the 50 Most Community-Minded Companies in the U.S. for 11th Consecutive Year
For more than a decade, The Civic 50 has served as the national standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how leading companies are moving social impact and community to the core of their business. This comprehensive survey for companies with annual revenues of at least $1 billion evaluates the scale, sophistication and impact of employee volunteering, community engagement and corporate philanthropy work.
'Caesars Entertainment is dedicated to giving back to our communities. It's a privilege for us to have the ability to do so through multiple channels, including monetary donations and volunteerism,' said Kiersten Flint, SVP of Corporate Social Responsibility and Internal Communications for Caesars Entertainment. 'We have a very dedicated Team Member base of HERO volunteers who go out into our communities across the country and donate their time and money to making our communities better. So much so that we launched an Extraordinary HERO program last year to celebrate these Team Members who make our Company and the world a better place. It's an honor to be recognized by Points of Life for the 11 th year and celebrate our team's dedication.'
Caesars Foundation donated more than $3.4 million to various non-profit organizations across the country, which is part of an overall community investment from Caesars Entertainment of more than $71 million in 2024. Caesars Team Members also dedicated 93,000 volunteer hours within their communities throughout the year.
'In an ever-evolving landscape, companies are looking to ensure that they can meet the needs of their communities, customers, and stakeholders,' said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, Points of Light. 'Companies like Caesars Entertainment are leading the way in showing how social impact benefits their employees' well-being, strengthens the communities where they do business, and brings value and meaning to their work. Their efforts provide a model for others looking to bring the benefits of volunteering and social impact to their workforce and they're extremely deserving of this recognition.'
The Civic 50 survey is administered by True Impact, and the results are analyzed by VeraWorks. The survey instrument consists of quantitative and multiple-choice questions that inform the scoring process. The Civic 50 is the only survey and ranking system that exclusively measures corporate community engagement.
Caesars Entertainment will soon release its 16 th annual CSR report, sharing the Company's work in the three categories of its CSR framework, PEOPLE PLANET PLAY. The framework contains priorities representing the Company's most important business impacts on its people, the community and the environment.

Sharetru Federal Now Available: FedRAMP Moderate Authorized Platform Launches for Defense and Regulated Industries
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sharetru, a secure Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform trusted for over 25 years, today announced the commercialization of its FedRAMP Moderate Authorized platform, Sharetru Federal, now available to all organizations requiring strict compliance and security standards for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The platform was granted FedRAMP Moderate Authorization on May 2, 2025, under a Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Authorization, and is listed as an authorized service in the FedRAMP Marketplace. 'Our FedRAMP-authorized platform is ready out of the box—just point to the Package ID in your audit. No mapping. No stress.' — Sharetru Federal is live. With this launch, Sharetru has also introduced two new streamlined plans designed to simplify procurement for organizations in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), government contracting, aerospace, and other highly regulated sectors. 'Sharetru Federal is a major step in our commitment to helping defense and regulated industries share sensitive data with confidence,' said Martin Horan, Founder of Sharetru. Building on that, the company's go-to-market approach is focused on making secure, compliant file sharing easier to buy and faster to deploy. ' Our strategy is to make FedRAMP-level security accessible—not just for primes, but for businesses of any size,' said Brendon Ainsworth, Chief Revenue Officer at Sharetru. 'We've packaged an economical, audit-ready solution that removes friction from compliance and accelerates time to value.' Compliance Without the Guesswork Every site on the Sharetru Federal platform is pre-configured and locked down to meet FedRAMP Moderate minimums—so customers don't have to interpret the controls or implement additional hardening steps. There's no ambiguity. Organizations simply inherit the platform's existing authorization, referencing the FedRAMP Package ID F1311222650 — where Sharetru is listed as an authorized CSP — in their body of evidence. Sharetru's go-to-market approach is rooted in simplicity: we eliminate the guesswork and give compliance managers the fastest path to secure file transfer in a FedRAMP-authorized environment. As the Department of Defense moves toward full enforcement of CMMC, Sharetru's forward looking industry view sees FedRAMP authorization—not equivalency—as the only reliable path forward. Unlike 'equivalent' solutions that have varied over time in interpretation and audit readiness, Sharetru Federal offers the clarity, confidence, and defensibility that today's government contractors and regulated industries demand. CMMC Reciprocity: Designed for the Future of CUI Protection Because Sharetru Federal is FedRAMP Moderate Authorized at the IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS layers and aligned to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, it offers complete reciprocity with CMMC Advanced (Level 2) for the handling and sharing of CUI. It's one of the few platforms in the FedRAMP Marketplace to provide this level of alignment and assurance. No guesswork. No complexity. Just a FedRAMP-authorized, CMMC-ready solution for secure file exchange. About Sharetru Sharetru is a U.S.-based, cloud-native Managed File Transfer platform with a 25-year legacy of delivering secure, reliable, and compliant file sharing. Formerly known as FTP Today, the company has served thousands of customers in defense, aerospace, healthcare, government contracting, and other compliance-driven industries. Sharetru is trusted for: Flexible File Sharing Options: Users can share files via the web app, automate transfers with SFTP, FTPS, or FTPeS, or send files using secure share links. Granular Access Control: SSO integration, flexible user access groups, and clearly defined admin roles make it easy to manage permissions securely at scale. Compliance-Ready Platform: Integrated SIEM support, automated audit logging, and the required log retention help meet HIPAA, ITAR, DFARS, and CJIS requirements. From encrypted file exchange to audit readiness, Sharetru helps organizations meet the moment with simplicity and security.
