LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Tuesay, the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation donated $5,000 and cases of water to HELP of Southern Nevada to support the non-profit’s ninth annual HELP2O Water Drive.
The donation for HELP2O comes less than one month after the VGK Foundation and Credit One Bank donated $12,000 to HELP following their 2019-2020 season in-game concourse auction.
Senior staff of HELP attended the donation drop-off at HELP of Southern Nevada’s Framing Hope Warehouse to gratefully accept the donation presented by Kim Frank, President of Vegas Golden Knights Foundation, Mia Festenese, Community Relations Coordinator of Vegas Golden Knights Foundation and Chance, Vegas Golden Knights Mascot.
“Today marked the 55th consecutive day with a high of at least 100 degrees in Las Vegas and the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation and our team’s players wanted to make sure those in need in our community had water to drink,” said Kim Frank, President of Vegas Golden Knights. “We admire the work that HELP of Southern Nevada does in our community and supporting their HELP20 Water Drive was an easy decision.”
