Making a Difference: Shuffle Master
The late Timothy Parrott, former CEO of Shuffle Master, Inc., was a visionary in many ways, building a business out of pure innovation. But he also had a passion for community, from which he initiated the Adopt-a-School concept. Shuffle Master, Inc. is continuing to bring his idea to fruition by working with three of the community’s leading nonprofits: The Public Education Foundation, Spread the Word Nevada and Three Square Food Bank.
In total, Shuffle Master donated $60,000 that was divvied up among the nonprofit organizations and used to provide resources for Jack Dailey Elementary School and the students who attend, many of whom are considered at-risk.
With these funds, the Public Education Foundation will provide students with new and used clothing and give teachers much needed classroom supplies from the foundation’s Teacher EXCHANGE, a reuse resource center for CCSD teachers. Spread the Word Nevada will use their share to establish its Kids to Kids Program, Breakfast with Books Program and Books & Buddies Program. Three Square’s funds will be used for their BackPack for Kids Program. To learn more about Shuffle Master, visit www.shufflemaster.com.
