Las Vegas Victims’ Fund Donation

Blast Zone is a Nevada-based company, and many members of the Blast Zone family are proud Nevadans. As such, we were shocked and upset by the news that tragedy had struck our southern neighbors in Las Vegas. In light of this devastating news, we were eager to contribute to the Fundraiser to benefit those affected by the Las Vegas attack.

We urge anyone looking for ways to help the victims and their families to donate to this cause. Any amount helps! All funds raised go directly to the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund – a project of the Direct Impact Fund, an independent, registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

If you’d like to join us in supporting the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund visit the GoFundMe campaign here: https://www.gofundme.com/dr2ks2-las-vegas-victims-fund. You can also visit any Nevada State Bank branch to make a donation to the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund.

If you’d prefer to mail in a donation, you can make your donation check out to “Las Vegas Victims Fund” and mail your contribution to the following address:

Las Vegas Victims Fund
1000 N Green Valley Pkwy, #440-184
Henderson, NV 89074

If a monetary donation is not possible, you can also get in contact with United Blood Services to schedule an appointment to donate blood. If you are in the Las Vegas area and are missing a loved one, please call 1-800-536-9488.

The Las Vegas community has seen a tremendous outpouring of support from folks all across the nation and all around the world.

Observing the way that people band together to help one another in times of crisis continues to be a small source of comfort during these trying times. Tens of thousands of people have made their voices heard and are standing up to hate and standing together to support the victims and their families during this time. We’re proud to be a part of that, and urge anyone interested to donate and share!

Blast Zone Supports The American Red Cross

Blast Zone supports the American Red Cross in their relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Maria. The humanitarian efforts of the Red Cross provide comfort and hope to so many during their times of need.

Hurricane Maria has caused unimaginable devastation to Puerto Rico and the surrounding area. We knew we had to help in anyway that we could. We were eager to donate and support the Red Cross in their efforts to provide food, shelter, and health services to those suffering the effects of this disaster.

While getting relief materials to the islands is difficult, The American Red Cross is working with federal, corporate and community partners to send supplies to the region by both sea and air.

According to the Red Cross, they will be deploying relief supplies such as water, rice, beans, ready-to-eat meals, cleanup kits, home repair kits, tarps, trash bags, insect repellent, hand sanitizer, work gloves and more. While getting relief materials to the islands is difficult, The American Red Cross is working with federal, corporate and community partners to send supplies to the region by both sea and air.

The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.​ The Blast Zone family is committed to help in those efforts, and by making a designated donation we’re hoping to inspire others to help as well.

Walk MS Stronger Together

Blast Zone Supports Walk MS!

Walk MS Stronger Together
Together, we become a powerful force. Together, we will end MS forever.

Blast Zone is a proud supporter of the National MS Society and Walk MS, an organization dedicated to changing the world for everyone affected by MS. The National MS Society is the largest private funder of MS research in the world. They also help to raise awareness, funds, and community support through their Walk MS events. These events draw in about 300,000 people each year, collectively.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. There isn’t a cure for MS, yet.

However, there are now FDA-approved medications that have been shown to modify and delay the course of MS. Advances in treating and understanding MS are made every year, and progress in research to find a cure is very encouraging. Thanks to the National MS Society, as well as participants and supporters of their Walk MS events, people affected by MS have access to more life-changing services than ever.

When you participate in Walk MS, you are helping create a world free of multiple sclerosis.

This is one of the reasons that our continued patronage of the National MS Society’s Walk MS is so important to us. They’ve been walking since 1988 and to-date have raised more than $970 million to drive groundbreaking research, provide life-changing services, and guarantee a supportive community for those who need it most. They say that when you participate in Walk MS, you are helping create a world free of multiple sclerosis.

We look forward to continuing our ongoing support of this worthy cause.  We encourage anyone interested in supporting the National MS Society to donate here. You can learn more about Multiple sclerosis, options for managing symptoms, treatments, and healthcare answers by visiting the National MS Society’s website.

Make A Wish Donation

Make A Wish and Blast Zone make a great team!
Make A Wish and Blast Zone make a great team!

Blast Zone is honored to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois. The Make-A-Wish vision is to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. We partnered with Make-A-Wish Illinois to aid in granting a wish for a 4-year-old boy from Sycamore, IL. He wished for a backyard makeover and we were able to help make that wish a reality with the contribution of a Pirate’s Bay Play Park.

In the United States and its territories, on average, a wish is granted every 37 minutes. At Make-A-Wish® they believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides them and inspires them to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids they serve.

Since 1985, Make-A-Wish Illinois has granted more than 13,000 wishes to children across the state with the support of volunteers, donors, and other supporters.

Every year, nearly 1,200 children in Illinois are newly diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. Make-A-Wish® believes that wishes are an important part of the overall care and treatment of these children. Each wish offers the opportunity for a joyous, life-changing experience.

There are so many ways that you can help this organization continue to make wishes come true. Please visit Wish.org or Illinois.Wish.org for options to donate, volunteer, or to help raise funds.
