The Las Vegas Raiders assisted in fulfilling the wishes of several children who are facing difficult medical situations.
The Raiders partnered with Make-A-Wish of Southern Nevada to host Alex, Clay, Tristen and Cruz, along with their families.
The Silver & Black were happy to provide the experience for the wish kids to visit the Raiders Headquarters and Intermountain Health Performance Center for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience. This included a tour of the facility, a customized locker, watching walk-through practice, meeting the players, and dining in the team meal room.
On gameday, the kids and their families were treated to a VIP experience, including watching pregame warm-ups on the sidelines, with special visits by team President Sandra Douglass Morgan, Raiders players, and the Raiderettes. In addition to enjoying the game, the families also received a complimentary meal.
According to Make-A-Wish, for children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses.
Throughout the 2023 season, the Silver and Black welcomed four children from the Make-A-Wish foundation to tour Raiders HQ, meet the team and attend a game at Allegiant Stadium.
