On Thursday in Cedar Rapids, leaders from over a half-dozen non-profit organizations in the Linn County area came together to lend their support to the Cedar Rapids casino project, which has pledged to donate 8% of proceeds to non-profits in the area.

As the Linn County Gaming Association continues work in an effort to make the Cedar Crossing casino and entertainment center a reality, they brought attention to their commitment to give 8% of net adjusted revenue to local non-profits.
