"'Reindeer Rock' is
dedicated to providing a safe and entertaining experience for underprivileged
youths during the holiday season. This event was created three years ago after
realizing the overwhelming need to provide deserving youths with toys during
our holiday season, and also present them with a unique, child-friendly day to
remember as 'their Christmas'," said Jim Lambright, co-founder of
"Reindeer Rock".
It is the goal of
"Reindeer Rock" to make this a special day each child can actively
participate in with a full schedule of activities. All too often, families and
children stand in line waiting only to receive a gift. The 2011 "Reindeer
Rock" will consist of a full day of events for the children as they wait
to receive their presents, providing a fun-filled celebration of the holiday
season.
The 2011 "Reindeer
Rock" event will exceed previous years' distributions by over 650
children. The year- round planning for this special gift-giving experience aims
to continuously grow this event to one day reach every underprivileged child in
the Las Vegas
2009: 885 children received toys
2010: 1,850 children received toys
2011: 2,500 children projected to receive toys
