DRA Awards Two Grants To Local Organizations

The nonprofit license holder for Dubuque’s casinos on Tuesday awarded two grants to local organizations. Board members of the Dubuque Racing Association approved two core grants at their monthly meeting at Q Casino — $10,872 to Veterans Freedom Center and $20,000 to the Dubuque Jaycees. The grant to Veterans Freedom Center will fund upcoming events on Memorial Day, including the return of a parade. The parade will start at 10:30am on Monday in the Q Casino parking lot and end at Veterans Memorial Plaza.  The Dubuque Jaycees’ award will help pay for this year’s Fireworks & Air Show Spectacular on July 3rd.
