9% Local to Las Vegas
While service members, veterans, and spouses came from all over the country, we’ve also been focused on having a local impact. In partnership with the Veteran Tickets Foundation, the Southern Nevada Chamber of Commerce, and the First Command Team out of Las Vegas, we were able to establish a foundation of local supporters who believe in our mission and the potential impact for 2023.
