Rosie’s Gaming Emporium has donated $15,000 to the Vinton Breakfast Lions Club, which will
in turn be donated to the Town of Vinton’s multigenerational park. The park is now under

This is the second donation Rosie’s has made to the new park. In January of this year, Rosie’s
General Manager Todd Lear presented the Lions a check for $5,000 to build the shelter at the
park. The new donation of $15,000 will go towards the skatepark that is being built.
Rosie’s has been a dedicated community partner since it first opened in Vinton in 2019. Each
year it adopts the goal of donating $100,000 to local non-profits through the “Rosie’s Gives
Back” program.
The company’s stated reason is “to provide continual investment in the growth of the
communities where we operate and throughout the Commonwealth. Our aim is to meaningfully
improve the quality of life in the communities where our team members live and work.”
