LVHCC has converted our Club Donor item to a “Maui Relief Allocation.”  This allocation will enable LVHCC to provide donations to credible organizations focused on full support for folks on Maui and for support occurring here in Las Vegas by organizations working to assist the Maui relief effort.

 

Click our “Donate” button and 100% of what we receive will be tracked and maintained separately from LVHCC funds for later donations.
