On 1 October, the Las Vegas community experienced a horrible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers continue for the victims, their families, first responders, and our entire community who have been impacted by this heartbreaking event.
The Touro community continues to rally behind the #VegasStrong movement and our students are continuing to collect donations for victims and their families. For every $15 donation, you will have the opportunity to pick up a #VegasStrong shirt.
All funds donated to the Touro #VegasStrong Fundraiser will be donated to the fund established by County Commissioner Steve Sisolak.
I also want to add my thanks to those first responders who including firefighters, police officers, and EMTs as well as nurses, physicians, and other healthcare providers who helped save many lives and continue to help the survivors. Some of those individuals are alumni, students, and faculty of Touro University Nevada. Your bravery and service to the community is greatly appreciated by all of us.
