Hot August Nights Foundation
The Hot August Nights Foundation was established in 2007 as the charitable arm of Hot August Nights to create an instrument for individuals and businesses who share The Foundation’s Mission to work together to provide children in our local community that are considered in-need or at-risk with a more meaningful and productive life through the availability of continuing and higher education.
The Hot August Nights Foundation strives to work with community, business and education leaders to impact the lives of in need or at risk children by providing vital resources in an increasingly challenging world for a broadened educational curriculum. The Foundation accepts and administers private gifts from friends, volunteers, corporations, fund raisers, and other sources to supply vital educational resources and fund programs for which support is either limited or not available, including:
- Scholarships for secondary education including colleges, trade schools, specialty educational centers, junior colleges, and vocational schools.
- Support primary education and its students, grades K-12, in areas of economic hardship and in particular where children are at risk of not completing their education.
- Promote and support other worthy educational and assistance programs for in need and at risk children.
To help raise money for northern Nevada’s under-served children/youth, the Hot August Nights Foundation invites you to join us at our annual fundraising dinner, Classics & Cocktails. The event will be held on Saturday, April 29th, 2023 at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. The event features an evening of fun, food, cocktails and live and silent auctions. For more information on attending or donating to this event, click on the Classics & Cocktails link.
