It started from the state asking community service boards to address the issues of gambling. Locally, the organizations have taken a regional approach.

“I think initially that goal is to increase that awareness, because I think a lot of people don’t realize how much gambling is available,” Dominick Grembi, prevention program manager at Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services, told the Register & Bee.
