White Label Casinos Embarks on a €140,000 Fundraising Initiative for St Gerard’s School in Bangor

White Label Casinos, a leading provider of comprehensive casino solutions in the iGaming sector, has pledged to support the St Gerard’s School Trust in Bangor, Wales. The initiative aims to enhance the educational and sports facilities for the benefit of students and the local community. The company has set an ambitious goal to raise €140,000 within the next two years to fund the improvement projects, which will allow for increased student enrollment and enhanced community involvement.

The commitment to St Gerard’s School Trust is rooted in a personal connection, as Phil Pearson, CEO of White Label Casinos, is an alumnus. Founded in 1917 by the Irish Sisters of Mercy, St Gerard’s School has established itself as a premier independent institution known for its exceptional educational standards in the region. The planned enhancements, funded by this initiative, are poised to further elevate the school’s esteemed status.

St Gerard’s School has a long-standing tradition of providing personalized education and mentorship to students from underprivileged backgrounds and families facing instability. The school has also extended its support to Ukrainian refugees displaced by conflict, integrating them into the educational community and offering them stability and care.

This fundraising initiative aligns with White Label Casinos’ ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR). The company has previously engaged in significant fundraising efforts, including supporting the MSPCA in 2023 and sponsoring the IFR Poker Cup at Portomaso Casino, which raised €3,300 for animal welfare.

Further details regarding the fundraising activities planned for 2024 to reach the €140,000 target for St Gerard’s School will be announced in the upcoming months, marking another milestone in White Label Casinos’ dedication to giving back to the community and supporting educational excellence.

Campbell Harrison, Headmaster of St Gerard’s School, said: “It always gives us great pleasure to meet past pupils and see how they’re getting on. I remembered Phil well and it was fantastic to hear his memories as a child growing up in the school and what had and hadn’t changed! We were delighted that he got in touch, and I am overwhelmed at his generous gesture to help support the school and leave a lasting legacy.”

Stephen Griffiths, Business Manager at St Gerard’s School, said: “We are proud to be working with such a well-accomplished alumni to raise funds for St Gerard’s so that its pupils can access the best facilities a school can offer. It is so important to help build its legacy for the next 100 years so future generations can reap the rewards of such a strong academic school that looks after its pupils in a safe, fun and friendly environment.”

Phil Pearson, CEO at White Label Casino, said: “When you leave school you go through a multitude of feelings, mainly relief, but the longer time flies by the more you realise that you picked up many life skills and ways of learning from a place where you felt at home. St Gerard’s is an amazing place. The work they do is honourable and it’s a privilege to do something amazing for a school that not only deserves the support but is a necessity for the local area and future generations of children.”
