Potawatomi Bingo Casino and the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation
The Coalition for Children, Youth & Families, headquartered in Milwaukee, recently recognized Potawatomi Bingo Casino and the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation with its Friend of the Children Award.
The honor salutes the casino and foundation’s continued support of children in Wisconsin. With the award, the coalition highlighted the casino’s $12.5 million contribution to hundreds of children’s organizations through its signature charity program, “Miracle on Canal Street.” The coalition has received funds from the charity program four times. The Forest County Potawatomi Foundation was recognized for its community contributions totaling $30 million that includes a $25,000 grant given to the coalition in 2004. Forest County Potawatomi Chairman Harold “Gus” Frank and Potawatomi Bingo Casino General Manager Mike Goodrich accepted the award during the coalition’s Nov. 14 Adoption Celebration featuring Donald Driver as honorary chair.
The Water Council and the Milwaukee Institute
The Water Council and the Milwaukee Institute have established a new partnership to “accelerate water-based product development and research utilizing Wisconsin’s very own high performance computing and storage resources.” Through the partnership, the Milwaukee Institute, a nonprofit organization, will offer its high performance computational (HPC) systems and services to Global Water Center tenants. The nonprofit recently invested $500,000 to double the capacity of its HPC infrastructure, and its HPC resources will assist Global Water Center tenants with modeling, simulation, visualization and analytics in water research areas like computational biology, fluid dynamics and finite element analysis. A.O. Smith Corp. will be the first Global Water Center tenant to use the Institute’s HPC services. Other companies are currently exploring how to incorporate the Institute’s services into their product development and design process.
