Henderson, Nev. – Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee Charities has partnered with the Raiders Foundation to donate an additional $500,000 to 25 different nonprofit organizations in Nevada. This final and incremental contribution from the community affairs efforts of the Host Committee is only one part of the lasting community and economic legacy of Super Bowl LVIII, hosted at Allegiant Stadium in February.
Of the $500,000 donation, $250,000 funded the Raiders Foundation Spring 2024 grant cycle (whereby nonprofit organizations in Nevada could apply for funding); and the remaining $250,000 funded other charitable organizations serving Southern Nevada. With this latest round of giving, the Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee and Host Committee Charities have now invested over $4 million into the Southern Nevada community, benefiting various nonprofit organizations, diverse businesses, local youth, and more.
Sam Joffray, President and CEO of the Host Committee, noted that the incremental impact is yet another testimony to the value of hosting the Super Bowl, "Thanks to the overwhelming generosity and support of many Host Committee partners, Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee Charities is thrilled to realize additional community impact as we wind down the local organizations and operations that supported the hosting of Super Bowl LVIII. This final impact further proves that hosting the Super Bowl is a gift that keeps giving, and completes our mission of ensuring that the Super Bowl happened for Las Vegas, versus to Las Vegas. Our board, staff, committee chairs and members, and partners are all appreciative and honored to have been part of this legacy effort, and especially grateful to the Raiders for helping facilitate this final round of giving. We trust these efforts will help support and further the good work of local nonprofits from now until Las Vegas hosts our next Super Bowl."
"Thank you to the Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee for making a true, long-lasting impact in Nevada," said Raiders Foundation Executive Director Kari Uyehara. "This donation helps ensure that our community will continue to realize the benefits of Super Bowl LVIII moving forward."
