Aviators tickets and free car wash to be won at the HELP2O water event on Saturday

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas community has donated over 70,000 bottles of water to help those in need across the valley, and Help of Southern Nevada is offering another opportunity to donate this weekend.

After the first phase of the HELP2O water drive, Help of Southern Nevada says it has distributed nearly 20,000 water bottles to nearly 5,000 homeless camps across the valley.

This weekend, the first 25 people to donate two or more cases of water can receive two free tickets to a Las Vegas Aviators game.

Terrible Fall also offers donors a free car wash with Pony Express.

“It’s simple – drive through, drop off a few cases of water and you’ll save a life,” says Abby Quinn, public relations director for Help of Southern Nevada.

The event will take place on Saturday, August 17th, from 8 a.m. to noon at Help of Southern Nevada at 1600 E. Flamingo Road (between Maryland Parkway and Spencer Street).

The organization states that all donations go directly to members of our homeless community who are struggling with the extreme summer temperatures.

For some of these community members, this summer’s heat has been deadly. So far this summer, Clark County has recorded 123 deaths involving heat, many of them people living on the streets with little opportunity to escape the record-breaking temperatures.

If you can’t make it to the fundraiser, you can still donate. Help of Southern Nevada has an online form where you can donate a case of water or even an entire pallet.
