We had an incredible time attending the 2025 Un-Gala on Sunday, February 23rd at the Atomic Saloon, Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian! This unforgettable event, hosted by the Nevada Shakespeare Festival & Leverage Las Vegas, celebrated philanthropy while supporting six exceptional Las Vegas-based nonprofits.
Communication Autism Resources (C.A.R.), an organization dedicated to empowering individuals with autism by providing essential communication support and resources. It was inspiring to see so many people come together to make a difference for individuals who rely on these critical services.
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible—it was a night filled with generosity, connection, and impact. We look forward to continuing our support for this important cause!
