LAS VEGAS, NV (Sept. 16, 2024) – Last week, United Way of Southern Nevada (UWSN) proudly hosted its ninth annual Day of Caring, presented by PNC Bank. This event, held in collaboration with local nonprofits, schools and community organizations, kicked off with a celebration at Town Square Park on Sept. 13.
Nearly 900 dedicated volunteers came together to engage in over 40 impactful service projects alongside more than 37 community partners, all aimed at making a difference in the Southern Nevada community.
“United Way of Southern Nevada is dedicated to connecting those who can help with those who need help to create a more equitable community for all,” said Samuel Rudd, President and CEO of United Way of Southern Nevada. “We are grateful to the hundreds of volunteers who participated in our 9th Annual Day of Caring. Each volunteer project plays a crucial role in strengthening and building a more resilient Southern Nevada.”
“PNC is committed to making a positive impact in our community,” says Denette Suddeth, PNC regional president for Nevada and UWSN board member. “On this Day of Caring, we once again teamed up with Spread the Word Nevada to support early learners. Our employees volunteered to build birthday, craft, and graduation boxes for the nonprofit’s Readers in Training program. PNC Bank is focused on supporting early childhood education in Nevada and around the country through the PNC Grow Up Great® initiative. It’s the third year PNC has partnered with Spread the Word Nevada on the Day of Caring.”
Volunteer activities ranged from tending to school gardens and assembling school supply kits for students, to distributing essential food items to those in need. This collective effort was designed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of families, students, seniors and individuals.
United Way of Southern Nevada (UWSN), PNC Bank, and other partners worked hand in hand to ensure that this event provided vital support and brought positive change to the community.
