MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Thirty-one local charities will benefit from the Potawatomi Casino's annual Heart of Canal Street campaign. 

The campaign raised $1.16 million, much of that money coming from a special bingo game. 

Every year the casino names a charity of choice to receive the largest contribution. 

This year, that organization is Pathfinders, a group that will use the $100,000 contribution for its fight against child sex trafficking. 

"This partnership with Potawatomi is critical to our ability to further address this issue and end the trafficking and exploitation of our young people here in Milwaukee," said Tim Baack, President & CEO of Pathfinders. 

The other 30 charities on the list from Adoption Choice Inc. to the Women's Center will each receive more than $35,000. See the complete list of charities below:
