RECKLESS IN VEGAS ANTE UP COLLECTIVE RAISES $2,000 FOR ST. JUDE’S RANCH FOR
CHILDREN IN AUGUST, ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER PROGRAM SPONSORS
Program Connects Southern Nevada Businesses with Local Charities
Reckless In Vegas, the high-energy alt-rock band where Vintage Vegas Meets Rock ‘n’ Roll, is partnering with local businesses to help raise funds for deserving non-profits through Ante Up, a collaborative community give back program created to connect Southern Nevada businesses to local charities. Thanks to August’s Ante Up program sponsor Cornerstone Wealth Management, $2,000 was raised for St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. This month, the Ante Up program announces Sklar Williams PLLC and Juice Bar as its September sponsors. To raise additional funds for St. Jude’s in September, Sklar Williams PLLC will donate $1,500 and Juice Bar will donate $1,000.
As one Reckless In Vegas’s partner charities, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children transforms the lives of abused and at-risk children, young adults and families. The organization currently provides programs such as foster care services, homeless youth services, child sex trafficking services and other support services, including educational support, clinical services, job training, discharge services and post-secondary education scholarships.
“We are so thankful the Ante Up Collective has been able to partner with so many generous businesses in Southern Nevada such as Cornerstone Wealth Management, Sklar Williams PLLC and Juice Bar,” said Michael Shapiro, band founder, Reckless In Vegas. “Through these impactful community partnerships, we are able to make a significant difference for St. Jude’s Ranch for Children.”
