These special events matched up several hundred children from the Boys & Girls Clubs between the ages of 7 and 12 with professionals from the Southern Nevada Community for games, food, special entertainment and prizes. Combined, these events raised over $70,000 in net proceeds, enough to fund a year of educational programming for 100 kids.

Many of the boys and girls that participate in Boys Nite Out and Girls Day 2014 come from single-parent disadvantaged homes, making the one-on-one attention they receive a very precious gift. This event is also a unique mentoring opportunity for local adults in the Las Vegas community. The events are free to the young members of the Club as funds are raised from participants, individual donations and corporate sponsors.
