Supporters,
including comedy magician Nathan Burton, came out Wednesday night to ride the
Flightlinez zipline at the Fremont Street Experience – all to benefit Las
Vegas’ The Animal Foundation. $10,000 was donated to the non-profit foundation
that operates the largest animal shelter in Nevada to house homelss, lost,
neglected, unwanted and abused animals in Southern Nevada.
Those
supporting were asked to “hold tight with your paws for a great cause” and
hundreds of riders took the plunge and ziplined through downtown Las Vegas.
Even Nathan Burton went for a flight after meeting with some of the dog
ambassadors that were onsite including Mr. Bentley and Lassie. Flightlinez has
donated nearly $200,000 to charities since they began these monthly fundraising
events in February 2011.
