Las Vegas Raiders Donates To Local High Schools

The Las Vegas Raiders are making headlines off the field donating to local high schools! They actually made donations to four local highs schools here in Las Vegas. Now, the organization has already made donations to help the Henderson Little League team get to Williamsport for the World Series. The Raiders Foundation also donated $100,000 to the Maui Wildlife Relief efforts.

The Mike & Carla Morning Show have talked about what it means to have pro sports in Las Vegas. According to a report on Channel 3, Bonanza High School being the recent beneficiary of the Raiders as the team wrote a check for $11,000 to the high school's athletic program. The Bonanza Bengals had a chance to visit the Raiders' practice facility the other day to see what it's like to practice on the pro level. During the visit, the team handed over the huge check to the Bengals.

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!

There's never really a general theme for these ads. However, we couldn't help but notice the rock world was highlighted in a number of these spots. (The fact they were often funny was a bonus.)

Here are eight rock moments from the 2023 Super Bowl commercials.

Rainbow's "Since You Been Gone" soundtracked the epic new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The film is the final one in the Guardians franchise and hits theaters on May 5.

Dave Grohl stars in Crown Royal's Super Bowl ad, which serves as an ode to Canada's many unique contributions. Among the things shouted out are Rush (obviously), the ironing board, the paint roller, the whoopee cushion and even football. ("Yeah! Look it up!" says Grohl to the latter item.)

Elton John upstages rapper Jack Harlow in this ad for Doritos that imagines a world where the triangle was a phenomenon across the globe.

If you're doing your taxes this year using Turbo Tax, we dare you to try not to think about Men Without Hats' "Safety Dance." Decades later, it's still a quality earworm.

Michelob ULTRA went retro with this tribute to Caddyshack complete with the Kenny Loggins hit "I'm Alright." If only we had the gopher and some reference to Rodney Dangerfield's classic closing line to the iconic comedy.

Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, Gary Clark Jr., Paul Stanley and Billy Idol take offense to the term "rockstar" being so popular in the corporate
