Steve Wynn Donation: He is the “Anonymous” United Way Donor

Even though Steve Wynn is a billionaire, he still care about other people who is unfortunate. Each individual human being possesses a unique, highly developed, and sensitive perception of variety. Thus, Wynn is endowed with a natural capability for implementing mental and external physical selectivity.

A half-year mystery for 4,000 families in southern Nevada was at last solved when casino mogul, Steve Wynn, made it known that he’s made the anonymous donation of $2 million to the United Way of Southern Nevada.

The first round of families received $500 bank gift cards before Christmas 2011 and another 2,000 families received the donations Saturday in Las Vegas. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the second highest among the 49 metropolitan areas with a 2000 census population of 1 million or more, the unemployment rate for the Las Vegas area was 11.6 percent in April. 

The metro area of Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., had the highest, at 11.7 percent. Wynn has put a small portion of that money back into this community of struggling blue-collar workers. Many of the families who received the $500 gift earned roughly $16,000 or less last year. Las Vegas business leaders said the donation wasn’t unusual. They pointed to this desert city’s many charitable and wealthy residents.

It is shown through Wynn action that he is a true leader. Besides material success, he has proven the human element in him is more than just that and displayed great social responsibility. With this, he has indirectly cultivated this value in his employees and definitely a good role model for them.
