LAS VEGAS – SafeNest, Nevada’s largest, most comprehensive nonprofit dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence in Clark County, invites the Southern Nevada community to gather for a casual evening of fun, inspiration, and “Champagne, S’mores & the Great Outdoors.”
The event is Saturday, May 6, from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., at GreenGale Farms, located at 6945 W. Elkhorn Road. The event will feature a welcome reception, games, raffles, a gourmet camp dinner, and a program featuring local HOPE Heroes – everyday heroes who have overcome adversity and exemplify courage, resiliency, and perseverance.
SafeNest’s 2023 HOPE Heroes are:
Brian Judd, President & CEO, Case Craft
· Juanny Romero, CEO, Mothership Coffee
· Stacy Watkins, President & CEO, Lexicon Bank
“Heroes don’t have to wear a cape or have superpowers,” said SafeNest CEO Liz Ortenburger. “Our 2023 Hope Heroes are role models who have overcome adversity and are willing to share their story to local children and teens who have experienced domestic or sexual violence.”
Funds raised at Spring Soiree will support sending 200+ kids to Camp HOPE 2023, a week-long overnight summer camping adventure for local youth who have been affected by domestic and/or sexual violence. By offering a specialized curriculum developed around traditional camp activities, campers gain independence along with the skills and hope they need to break the generational cycle of violence.
Event sponsors include Las Vegas Homes Network, Caesars Entertainment, Lexicon Bank, Haas Foundation, Findlay Cadillac, Clique Hospitality, America First Credit Union, Titan Solar, GW Immigration Law, Solomon, Dwiggins, Freer and Steadman, GBank, Cragin & Pike, WHASN, GreenGale Farms, and Bank of Nevada.
