“Candlelighters of Southern Nevada is special to me because of the support, education, hope and advocacy they provide families of children with cancer. It’s important for these families to know they are not alone and that someone cares.”

“My most compassionate feelings go out to the single-parent homeless. Our homeless teenagers have also grown tremendously over the last couple of years. It’s so hard for people to get back on their feet when children are involved. Las Vegas Rescue Mission does a great job helping those who find themselves in hard circumstances.”
Kolleen Kelley | President, Nevada Association of Realtors
“Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation (NNCCF) is my favorite charity. I could not imagine watching one of my own children fight cancer. NNCF makes a HUGE, positive difference to my community by providing financial and emotional services to these families.”
Doug Roberts | Partner, Panattoni Development Company, Inc.
“The Salvation Army’s Adult Health Daycare Center provides a community service that is often overlooked – care for adults who cannot be left home alone. I also support Three Square Food Bank, as there is no reason anyone should go hungry.”
Tommi Bryan | Human Resources Representative, Tronox
“Smiles for Survivors Foundation is the first non-profit in the U.S. to talk about cancer treatment’s side effects on oral health. A person’s smile is powerful. Smiles helps breast cancer patients regain their confidence by giving them back the ability to smile.”
Rob Jensen | Founder & CEO, Rob Jensen Company
“Make-A-Wish is an organization with a simple, yet powerful mission: engage a community of donors and volunteers to deliver happiness during a dark and uncertain time to kids with life-threatening illnesses. The power of a wish is undeniable!”
