Sunday, April 15 at 1:00 PM
Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa

On April 15, 2018, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children will hold its 2nd Annual Wine Women & Shoes fundraiser to support programs for abused and neglected children and youth in foster care and homeless in Southern Nevada. The event will honor Station Casinos Vice President of Corporate Communications Lori Nelson and will feature a fashion show by Hollywood Couture Designer David Tupaz.

A blend of fashion and compassion, Wine Women & Shoes events are held nation-wide and are all about putting the “fun” in fundraiser. They give women the opportunity to get glamorous with their girlfriends while enjoying incredible varietals from top winemakers – all for a good cause. St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is the only charity with the rights to produce the special event in the state.

Host and Celebrity Auctioneer Chet Buchanan will emcee Wine Women & Shoes, which will be held in the Grand Ballroom at Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa, Henderson, Nev. on Sunday, April 15th from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition to the fashion show, it will include a wine tasting, food, designer shopping, silent and live auctions, and a “Best in Shoe” contest.

The fashion show will be graced with designs by Filipino Designer David Tupaz, who is often considered couture’s new genius. His Hollywood red carpet gowns are often inspired from a distinct rebirth of old Hollywood. Celebrities love David’s simple sophistication that helps each person’s individual taste and personal style stand out. Among his clients are Kris Kardashian Jenner, Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, William Shatner, Alan Thicke, Jane Seymour, Lisa Rinna, Etta James, Bo Derek, and Annette Bening. Event guests will get a taste not only of David’s luxurious gowns, but also his own custom-designed jewelry, beaded accessories, shoes and intricately handcrafted veils.

“I’m looking forward to the event and honored that St. Jude’s Ranch for Children has selected me as its honoree for Wine Women & Shoes,” said Nelson. “I’ve enjoyed supporting its programs and I’m especially passionate about helping siblings separated in foster care to spend quality time together. The charity has a special place in my heart and I hope others will join me, in a limited or large way, to make a difference too.”

For more than a decade, Lori Nelson has been committed to helping children in Nexus Fostering care. Originally drawn to the cause by Dr. Stephanie Holland, the founder of Child Focus, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children’s Sibling Preservation Program. Lori knew she had to help brothers and sisters separated in foster care to have the opportunity to see each other to build on and maintain their relationships.

“We are looking forward to the event and honored that Lori has accepted our invitation for her to be our honoree,” said St. Jude’s Ranch for Children Executive Director Christina Vela. “We hope the community comes out to support all the work she has done in the Valley not just for our organization, but for so many over the years.”

United States Navy Band Sea Chanters

Tuesday, March 13 at 7:00 PM
First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

The U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters is the official chorus of America’s Navy. The ensemble performs a variety of music ranging from traditional choral music, including sea chanteys and patriotic fare, to opera, Broadway, and contemporary music. The Sea Chanters chorus is frequently found at the center of high-profile national events. At home in Washington, D.C., the group performs for the president, vice president, and numerous congressional, military and foreign dignitaries.

One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy.

All Navy Band performances are free and open to the public.

Hot Logic MINI conduction oven

What is HotLogic?
HotLogic is a fully automated, patented “SmartShelf” software-controlled portable conduction oven that cooks frozen meals, leftovers and raw foods, holding food warm and ready-to-eat for up to 12 hours. With no buttons, dials or controls necessary, it’s cleaner and more energy-efficient than a microwave or conventional oven. HotLogic accepts food in all forms of closed containers, paper, aluminum, metal, plastic or glass, and emits no cooking odors.

Why HotLogic?
HotLogic generally takes less than 1 hour to heat refrigerated food and 2 hours for frozen food – you can even leave food in as long as 12 Hours. The Hot Logic never gets hot enough to burn food and because the food is sealed, meals will stay moist and ready to eat for up to 12 hours.

How does HotLogic work?
Made in the U.S.A, the HotLogic uses low-slow conduction heat to bring foods to the ideal temperature and can hold it there for hours without overcooking or drying the food out! You can use any flat-bottom container made of glass, plastic, Tupperware, or metal as long as it had a sealed lid.

Barrick Gold Corporation has joined forces with Cisco, Switch and Unearthed to provide Nevada’s innovation and tech community with a premier opportunity to build skills, scale ventures and engage with great talent.

“Barrick is excited to host the state’s first global mining hackathon in Las Vegas,” said Michael Brown, President, Barrick USA. “We are at the forefront of revolutionizing traditional mining through digital integration, and we look forward to bringing our technology partners to Las Vegas and to working with talented innovators to generate fresh ideas for our industry.”

BattleBorn, a name inspired by the Nevada state flag, was created by the world’s leading gold mining company to infuse the resource industry with bold ideas and exponential technologies. BattleBorn includes a series of boot camps, a 54-hour hackathon, and a startup exchange, that will bring together competitors, observers, industry leaders, and startups.

Hackathon – A 54-hour high-intensity programming competition for participants, over the weekend of March 9 – 11, to solve innovation challenges in the mining industry. A panel of judges will evaluate the potential applicability to real-world industry. Prizes, totaling $20,000, will be awarded to the top teams. Silicon Foundry, an innovation platform with deep ties in Silicon Valley, will be offering a winning team exposure to its network and startup best practices.

“Hackathons like BattleBorn are a key initiator of outside the box digital thinking that will drive future success in the mining industry. We are delighted to support Barrick as they transform mining,” said Brad Bechtold, National Director, Mining Transformation, Cisco Canada.

Boot Camps – On March 3, challenge descriptions will be shared during a session where participants will engage mentors in a question and answer session. On March 7, Amazon Web Services, Barrick, Cisco, Silicon Foundry and Unearthed will lead a tech onboarding session. The workshops will provide participants with the tools and techniques they will need to succeed over the hackathon weekend.

Startup Exchange – On March 12, an exhibition-style event will be held to showcase early-stage ventures from around the world. The Startup Exchange is a platform for industry leaders to engage with these ventures and find ways to deploy their solutions.

“Globally, Unearthed is driving a mission for the resources sector – to innovate the way it operates and introduce new technologies with the ability to improve current practices. The hackathon events we’ve produced with Barrick continue this mission,” said Zane Prickett, Director, Unearthed.

The ultimate goal of BattleBorn is to have a distinctive impact on Nevada’s growing technology and innovation community. Individuals can get involved by competing in a hackathon, exhibiting a startup, learning about developments in the resource sector or networking with industry leaders.

All events will take place from March 3 – 12 at Rob Roy’s Innevation Center, powered by Switch, located at 6795 S Edmond Street, 3rd Floor, Las Vegas, NV 89118.
