About Project 150
Project 150 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, founded in December 2011 by local businessmen Don Purdue and Patrick Spargur. The two had heard about 150 homeless high school students at Rancho High School in Las Vegas who needed support over the Christmas break. Since that time, Project 150 has expanded with two locations in Las Vegas and now serves more than 7,000 registered and non-registered homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students in more than 75 schools throughout Nevada. Project 150 provides these students with free food, clothing, school supplies, sports equipment, shoes, college and workforce readiness skills and other needs so they have what they need to continue school and be successful in life.
