"The perseverance of the families and the individuals impacted by the tornadoes in North Texas is admirable," said Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Chief Gary Batton. "Choctaw Nation is rooted in a legacy of giving back and we hope that our donation to the American Red Cross will provide additional relief to our neighbors in the impacted communities."

Together, the Red Cross and Choctaw Casinos will ensure that they get the support they need in the days, weeks and months ahead."
