Variety - The Children's Charity of Southern Nevada


Variety - The Children's Charity of Southern Nevada Affectionately called "The Heart of Show Business" - and for good reason - Variety The Children's Charity of Southern Nevada was founded in 1950 with the mission to build and staff what would be the first school in Southern Nevada for children with special needs. Through the generosity of stars like Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Vincent Price and Jane Russell; the hard work of Chief Barker Ben Goffstein; and the kind words and endorsements from community members like Hank Greenspun; the Variety School for Special Education opened its doors in 1952. Variety continues to open its heart to children in need, enlisting a new generation of leaders to ensure that their mission is carried out - until every child is given a chance to enjoy being a kid.



Wounded Warrior Project


Wounded Warrior Project Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small, inspired actions to help others in need. One night while watching the evening news, a group of veterans and brothers were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades. The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:"WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors.". The mission of the Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors and their purpose is to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of severely injured service members.
