On 1 October a dark cloud entered our city. It brought pain, sadness, chaos, and heartbreak. Out of this darkness a beautiful light entered. It brought unity, compassion, love, courage, sacrifice, and strength. This light was from the people of Las Vegas and others who had the most unselfish spirit. Vegas received love from all over the world to lift us up letting us know we weren’t in this alone. So many have suffered in one way or another. Hearts have been broken, lives have been altered, and for some. . . they suffered the ultimate loss of a loved one. However, 1 October should never be about the darkness. We need to embrace the “light” of all those who brought it to us. The love of all those who shared that light. The support of all those who need it. This is Vegas Strong. We will always honor our 58 and those injured but we also choose to remember what got us through those days… Our city... Our families… Our friends… And so many Strangers.  This is Vegas Strong!  The darkness cannot define us. Light wins in the end! 

"We are and will stand, VEGAS STRONG!"

Why We're Doing This

We would like to create a movement by making October 1, Vegas Strong Day. Once again, we will show our compassion and love for our community by volunteering, donating, and participating in other random acts of kindness. It is remarkable in times of tragedy how we all bond together. We hope that by continuing these acts, we will be honoring the victims of that horrific event, showing our gratitude for the first responders, and demonstrating that we are a community that is continuously Vegas Strong.

Acts of Kindness

A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by kind people to either help or cheer up a random stranger, for no reason other than to make people happier. This section will provide some ideas on how individuals or groups can perform a random act of kindness. Perform one of these acts or use these ideas as a starting point to come up with your own way to spread cheer. ​

Volunteer

Our community is filled with many wonderful volunteer organizations. There are a number of organizations that would be more than happy to have your help. We encourage all locals to search online for opportunities to help in your own community. 
​
This page will provide volunteer ideas and opportunities depending on the time commitment you have available.
