Shango Las Vegas Title Sponsor of Veterans Village 5K Run
Shango Las Vegas Title Sponsor of Veterans Village 5K Run

(PRWEB) September 01, 2017 -- Veterans Village Las Vegas keeps raising the bar when it comes to helping homeless U.S. Veterans find housing, jobs, food, clothing and medical and transportation services. The non-profit organization’s unique model, which relies on financial and material support from the private sector rather than government agencies, has drawn praise from state and federal lawmakers, as well as two U.S. Presidents. Now that the model has been proven successful, the organization faces the ongoing challenge of raising money to meet the ever-growing need for these services.

“Shango has an ongoing commitment to help the men and women who fought for our country transition back into civilian life,” says David Thomas, Shango’s Policy Communications Director. “For many veterans, this is a very difficult process. Veterans Village

The Veterans Village 5K Run and Fun Walk will take this mission to the streets of Las Vegas in efforts to raise private donations to build more housing for the city’s homeless veterans. This event, presented by Shango Las Vegas, will take place on Saturday November 4, at Smith Center Park, starting at 8:30 a.m. Tickets are $30 and available online at http://www.itsyourrace.com or view our sponsorship opportunities available.

“Veterans Village Las Vegas is dedicated to creating an environment that is home to United States Veterans,” says Dr. Arnold Stalk, founder of Veterans Village. “We provide a continuum of care of housing and supportive services operating emergency housing, transitional housing, permanent housing and assisted living.”

Stalk’s innovative approach combines housing with holistic, comprehensive and intensive supportive services. This system branded by Stalk is known as “service enriched housing” combining the Veterans Village Las Vegas network of public and private partnerships resulting in 24/7/365 services for our U.S. Veterans.

With government resources stretched thin, Stalk seeks financial support from philanthropic businesses and individuals who share his commitment to serving veterans.

Stalk has established solid and active private sector partnerships with prominent hotel-casino operators, corporate businesses and small businesses throughout Southern Nevada as well as thousands of volunteers from various trade unions to help build, renovate and furnish housing units. Local supermarkets, restaurants, stores and Three Square Regional Food Bank provides daily food and nutrition. The UNLV School of Medicine and the Southern Nevada VA Healthcare system along with local hospitals are planning to work with Veterans Village Las Vegas along with Touro Medical University to provide free health screenings.

The Las Vegas Golden Knights will hold a fundraiser on Veterans Day. These and other organizations, including The Wynn Las Vegas, The Venetian, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International, are helping Stalk realize his vision.

“Veterans Village 1 opened in 2012,” Stalk says. “It’s the first privately-run facility of its kind in the United States. With our 5K Run and Fun Walk, we hope to raise funds to complete Veterans Village 2. We’re asking all Las Vegas businesses and residents to participate and donate.”

Shango Las Vegas, the presenting sponsor of this inaugural event, understands the challenges facing veterans. Many of the company’s medical cannabis patients are veterans dealing with PTSD, CTE and other serious conditions related to their military service. Cannabis products are gaining widespread recognition and acceptance as effective treatments for these conditions.

“Shango has an ongoing commitment to help the men and women who fought for our country transition back into civilian life,” says David Thomas, Shango’s Policy Communications Director. “For many veterans, this is a very difficult process. Veterans Village is at the forefront of this effort and their success rate is impressive. We are privileged to partner with them.”

Brandon Rexroad, Shango Founder and CEO, says the company is committed to helping Veterans Village raise the goal of $500,000 for Veterans Village in 2018.

“This is a cause we truly believe in and will make every effort to help procure more housing for our vets,” Rexroad says.

Other event sponsors currently include Vela Promos, Zappos, Port of Subs, Royal Links Golf Club, Findlay KIA, Beckwith Printing and Brand Ltd. Additional sponsors are being sought.

“The Veterans Village 5K Run and Fun Walk is an important first step in a long journey to solving this problem,” Stalk says. “Our ultimate goal is to replicate our model in other urban and rural areas across the USA and make sure that no United States Veteran lives in crisis on the street.”

Veterans Village also receives support from Lutheran Social Services of Nevada, Las Vegas Urban League, HELP of Southern Nevada, U.S. Veterans’ Affairs, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, East Valley Family Services, Three Square Regional Food Bank, Clark County, SHARE, The Medical Reserve Corps of Southern Nevada, and Repurpose America.
