The United Auburn Indian Community has donated $50,000 to Placer Land
Trust, a nonprofit agency that is raising money to buy and preserve 630
acres of wildland within the North Fork American scenic corridor.
The tribe, which owns and operates Thunder Valley Casino, presented the
check Saturday in a ceremony at Beermann's restaurant in Lincoln.
The UAIC established the Community Giving Program as a philanthropic
branch of its tribal government. It provides up to $1 million
annually to nonprofit groups that support education, health, arts, the
environment, community development and social services.
