Las Vegas Raiders Helping Out Local High Schools!
It’s just one of the many ways that the team continues to give back to the community on a regular basis. Not only with dollars, but the players donating their time to different organizations and schools here in Las Vegas.
On the other hand, nothing new for major league sports teams to get involved in their market. The Vegas Golden Knights got the ball rolling when the franchise was unveiled in 2017. The VGK as well, donating big bucks and players getting involved in the community. Most recently, some of the players showing up during “Nevada Reading Week”!
It all goes part in parcel to being a major league franchise nowadays…giving back to the community. Both the Raiders & Golden Knights have stepped up on every level. So to have the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA. After winning the WNBA Championship last season, stopping by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada to celebrate their huge win with all the kids!
So, from all of us in Las Vegas we say THANK YOU!
