In
celebration of the production’s seventh anniversary in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas
Company of JERSEY BOYS will donate the equivalent of 7,000 meals to Three Square
Food Bank as part of the show’s “Four Seasons of Kindness” spring initiative.
The donation will serve as a kick off for a month long food drive in
partnership with Glazier’s Food Marketplace, 96.3 KKLZ-FM and the Las Vegas
Review-Journal beginning May 1, for which the cast of JERSEY BOYS challenges
the Las Vegas community to match the 7,000 meal donation. The food drive serves
as the second installment of the “Four Seasons of Kindness” campaign.
Throughout
the month of May, Three Square Food Bank donation barrels will be available
onsite at Glazier’s Food Marketplace located at 8525 W. Warm Springs Rd., Las
Vegas, NV 89113. Participants will have the opportunity to enter for a chance
to win a pair of tickets to see JERSEY BOYS live at the Paris Las Vegas at the
time of their donation. In honor of the production’s seventh anniversary on May
8, 96.3 KKLZ-FM will host a live radio remote from Glazier’s Food Marketplace
where listeners and onsite visitors will have another opportunity to enter to
win a pair of tickets to see the production after making their donation.
Established
in 2007 to provide hunger relief, Three Square Food Bank offers wholesome,
nutritious food to nonprofit and faith-based organizations, schools and feeding
sites that serve a wide range of Southern Nevadans. A national model project
inspired by Founder Eric Hilton with a grant provided by the Conrad N. Hilton
Foundation, Three Square is a community collaborative partnership with
businesses, nonprofit agencies, food distributors, higher education
institutions, the Clark County School District, governmental entities, the
media and thousands of volunteers to efficiently and effectively serve hope to
those in our community struggling with hunger. Three Square currently provides
more than 34 million pounds of food and grocery product – the equivalent of
more than 28 million meals – per year to more than 1,300 community partners.
In
celebration of becoming the longest-running Broadway production on the Las
Vegas Strip, the Las Vegas Company of JERSEY BOYS will continue to partner with
local charitable organizations throughout 2015 as part of the “Four Seasons of
Kindness” campaign. The winter initiative included a partnership with
Opportunity Village, and the summer and fall partnerships will include HELP of
Southern Nevada and Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. The partnership
with Three Square Food Bank serves as the production’s second season of
kindness for the calendar year.
The
smash-hit production, JERSEY BOYS, made its Las Vegas debut in May 2008 at The
Palazzo prior to moving to its current home at the Paris Las Vegas. JERSEY BOYS
became the longest-running Broadway production on the Las Vegas Strip in fall
2014, surpassing notable shows such as PHANTOM-THE LAS VEGAS SPECTACULAR and
MAMMA MIA!
