Small Change, Big Impact: How Island Guests Are Supporting Local Charities

TITO ticket donation program

Every time you visit the Island Resort & Casino, you’re not just enjoying the latest games, shows, or signature dining experiences, you’re also helping support local causes that make a real difference in the community.

One of the most impactful examples? The TITO Ticket Donation Program.

What Is the TITO Program?

The Ticket-In Ticket-Out (TITO) system makes it easy for players to print and redeem slot credits. As part of this initiative, guests have the option to donate the spare change from their cash-out ticket to a local nonprofit organization.

If a guest chooses to donate, that small amount is collected and passed along to a designated charity. If they prefer not to donate, they simply receive their ticket as usual and can redeem it with a cashier.  Machines dispense full dollars only, no change, so to receive any amount less than a full dollar, guests must take their remaining amount on their ticket to the cashier.

Supporting Local Charities Like Delta Animal Shelter

One of the recent beneficiaries of this program was the Delta Animal Shelter, a vital resource in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that provides care, shelter, and adoption services for animals in need. Through generous guest donations, the Island was able to contribute $10,443.89, helping the shelter continue its life-saving work.

Rotating Causes That Stay Close to Home

The TITO program isn’t limited to just one organization. Donations rotate monthly between local charities and community-focused nonprofits, such as the Delta Animal Shelter and the Northern Lights YMCA. Whether it’s helping pets find homes, providing resources for local families, or supporting youth wellness programs, these small contributions add up to something meaningful with every visit.

Giving Back at Island Resort & Casino

Community is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s through our local sponsorships, event hosting, or initiatives like this donation program, we’re proud to work with organizations that help strengthen the Upper Peninsula.

So next time you’re on the gaming floor, consider donating your extra TITO ticket. It’s a simple gesture that helps lift up the entire community.
