You can play thousands of hands, study the game for hours on end and still hit a soul crushing downswing that will leave you questioning why it is that you even play this game in the first place. The variance in this game is simply crazy at times. Only the brave dare to play the games at https://www.casinodames.com. Poker is not a game for weak people, in fact it actively weeds them out.

Funds raised at the event will help support Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada’s mission to build the future leaders of our community.

In the past year we have created food access points, nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, healthy community events, 5K2Farm Races and, most importantly, the empowerment of thousands of at-risk people in need. Our vision is to educate as many people as possible on how food is grown and why it is important to make healthy food-secure decisions.

There are still so many more who we can reach, through your support, your generosity, donations and participation.

Our reach touches school children, K-12, homeless youth, rehabilitating veterans, and other community members facing food insecurity. We advocate for legislation and passionately lecture throughout the state to share information, educate and engage, causing real community action. The joy we experience when working in the community is priceless. Being of service to the people of Las Vegas, those who are often overlooked and in-need, are at the heart of our mission.
