For the fall, Hard Rock just released three new SIQ programs: a Spanish-language version, a program for grades 4–6 focusing on social media & information sharing safety and another program for grades 7–12 focusing on healthy online relationships, as well as trafficking awareness. In addition, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recognized SIQ as a national best practice in 2025.
  • Supporting PACT: Hard Rock donated $100,000 to PACT in 2025 to date through the Change for Change initiative, which allows guests at participating Hard Rock casinos to donate change from cash tickets to the Hard Rock Heals Foundation® for anti-human trafficking efforts.
