Las Vegas Wranglers News Release


Las Vegas, NV - The Las Vegas Wranglers(r) have announced that the game on Friday, November 13th, will be Toy Drive Night to benefit Opportunity Village

Donations can be made as fans enter the Orleans Arena for the game against the Utah Grizzlies. Every fan who donates an item will receive a ticket to the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village and will also be entered to win a variety of prizes from the Las Vegas Wranglers.

All donated toys will go directly to at-risk first grade children visiting the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village as part of Cheyenne's Magical School Bus Tours. Opportunity Village will have Cheyenne's Magical School Bus present at the Wranglers game on the 13th to raise awareness of the program.

"We are so grateful for the support we have received from local businesses, civic groups and now the Las Vegas Wranglers Hockey Fans," said Opportunity Village Educational Liaison, Debbie Smith. "According to their teachers, for many, this will be the only Christmas gift they receive. The program is aimed at providing a unique, fun experience as well as disability awareness for these young children."

Those who wish to donate are asked to bring new unwrapped toys for both boys and girls aged five to six years old, with a maximum suggested value of $10. Anyone interested in sponsoring a school or classroom to attend a field trip should contact Debbie Smith at (702) 880-4081.

Toy Drive Night is one of many community activities the Wranglers have hosted this season and follows on the heels of Food Drive Night on November 6th.
