Boys Town Nevada will celebrate 35 years of serving children and families with its Impact Gala: Team Up for Mental Health on Friday, October 23, from 6–10 p.m. at M Resort Spa Casino in Henderson.
The milestone event will honor Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and Las Vegas Aces, for his ongoing commitment to youth and expanding access to mental health resources in Southern Nevada.
The evening will bring together community leaders, philanthropists, and advocates united around one goal: improving mental health outcomes for Nevada’s youth.
“For 35 years, Boys Town Nevada has been a lifeline for children and families facing mental and behavioral health challenges,” said Debra March, Gala Chairwoman and Boys Town Nevada Board Member. “This gala is an opportunity for our community to come together, invest in hope, and help every child thrive.”
Nevada continues to rank among the lowest in the nation for access to mental health resources, making Boys Town Nevada’s work critical. Over the past five years alone, the organization has impacted more than 200,000 lives statewide, providing therapy, crisis support, parenting resources, and autism services to children and families in need.
Proceeds from the Impact Gala will directly support Boys Town Nevada’s programs, including:
-
Mental and behavioral health services for children
-
Family support and in-home intervention programs
-
Behavioral supports for educators and students
-
Autism assessments and care
-
Crisis response and suicide prevention resources
The event also highlights the growing urgency around youth mental health, including the effects of social media, rising stress and anxiety, and the importance of early intervention—key issues impacting families across the region.
Sponsorship opportunities and tickets are now available, offering businesses and community partners the chance to make a lasting impact while gaining visibility during one of Southern Nevada’s premier philanthropic events.
