A.C.T.S. has been an annual tradition in Las Vegas, raising more than $175,000 for Safe Nest. The show, which consists of acts from the Southern Nevada advertising and media community, raises money for Safe Nest, a non-profit organization geared toward the prevention and elimination of domestic violence. The talent show is a way for members of the media to show off their fun side, with singing, dancing, comedy, juggling, magic and bands. A.C.T.S. is a volunteer event – all staff, performers, board members and venues donate their time and services for the event each year.

This year, A.C.T.S. has set a fundraising goal of $25,000 which will be used to purchase items for Safe Nest. In past years, items such as computers and playground equipment for the children have been purchased with the money raised.
