2025 Communitas Excellence in Community Service – Organization’s Program: The SG Tech Project is a testament to Scientific Games’ dedication to environmental sustainability and education. Through the initiative, the company donates gently used, refurbished technology to local schools. The program provides local K-12 schools and after-school programs with essential technology tools for the classroom. SG Tech Project aligns with Scientific Games’ global environmental sustainability efforts by extending the life cycle of electronic devices and reducing e-waste. The donation is traditionally made on Earth Day each year in April.

2025 Communitas Excellence in Community Service – Company Volunteer Project: One of Scientific Games’ community initiatives is in partnership with Tech Alpharetta Women’s Forum STEAM Mentoring Program, designed to inspire and support young women interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics careers. The program, coordinated by Tech Alpharetta—a local association serving tech companies and professionals through educational programs—in partnership with the STEAM magnet high school Innovation Academy, pairs high school girls with experienced female professionals in STEAM fields. Throughout the academic year, through regular meetings and events, Scientific Games volunteer mentors Danielle Hodges (Senior Director, Instant Product Innovation), Hetal Suratwala (Director, Digital Client Operations) and Jennifer Ingram (Senior Director, Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership Operations) offer professional guidance and encouragement as students navigate their STEAM-focused academic and career paths.
