Help Fight Pediatric Cancer In Honor Of Ryan Tonight At McMullan's Irish Pub

Retired veteran hockey player Jeff Christian, who played for 1997-98 Las Vegas Thunder, lost his daughter Ryan in 2013 after a three-year battle fighting a rare pediatric cancer.  He returns to Las Vegas to host a charity event to raise money for the Team Ryan Foundation, which was created in her honor, and the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation, which addresses the specialized health care needs of children in Nevada and the surrounding regions for children with or without medical insurance or the ability to pay for treatment.

Local band Avalon Landing will perform an exclusive acoustic set and there will be an opportunity to win great prizes and experiences via raffle drawings.  There is no cost for entry and donations will be raised through the purchase of $4 cans of Guinness and Carlsberg Beer, special food and craft items, raffle tickets and direct donations to the charities.

About the Team Ryan Foundation:

In 2010 Ryan Christian was diagnosed with a pediatric cancer so rare it affects just one in three million children, and after three years of a long, hard fight, she lost her battle on January 24, 2013. 

Ryan was a little girl who touched many and her journey was chronicled on The Today Show www.today.com/video/today/45401103#45401103 as she and her parents Jeff and Dorie helped her fight this disease with the support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and a legion of fans. Ryan’s life revolved around giving and helping others, although she herself was enduring so much.  Her parents chose to honor her spirit with the creation of the Team Ryan Charitable Foundation, which was founded to fund pediatric cancer research and care for children like Ryan and families like Ryan’s. www.teamryanfoundation.org

Coach Woodson Inaugural Event Brings Out Celebs To Vegas!

Event Co-Host Jay Harris and Event Director Nisha Sadekar 

Event Co-Host Seema Sadekar and Dale Moss 

The inaugural Las Vegas luxury charity event, The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational, began its three-day affair with a series of festivities that started on Sunday, July 20, with appearances by several members of Coach Michael Woodson’s family and close friends, including actor and comedian Anthony Anderson, R&B recording artist Brian McKnight, ESPN SportsCenter anchor Jay Harris, LPGA golfer Seema Sadekar, NBA legends Herb Williams and Reggie Theus, music executive Chauncey Bell, saxophonist Paul Taylor, comedian George Willborn, as well as American football stars Bret Lockett and Dale Moss, among others.

 

Brian McKnight Tweet

Brian McKnight took the stage and humorously warmed up the crowd with his own rendition of “Meet The Flinstones” at the Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational CIROC Welcome Party that took place at the alluring 23rd floor Mandarin Bar at Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas. He wowed guests as he performed hits by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson alongside several of his own top hits, “Back At One” and “Anytime.”

To conclude the three-day affair and to celebrate the end of NBA Summer League, Coach Woodson corralled his close friends on the fairways for the Inaugural Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational golf tournament at Southern Highlands Golf Club in Las Vegas.

 

Anthony Anderson

The most laughable moment at The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational took place when actor and Food Network TV host Anthony Anderson initiated a game of Twister with his teammates. The tangled golfers laughed and collapsed after Anderson shouted, "Right hand on red!"

 The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational will be the only summer golf event in Las Vegas where influential sports figures and celebrities congregate. Founded by former NBA player and current assistant coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, Michael Woodson lives with the mission to give back to the community through sports and friendship. All for a good cause, The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational celebrates the world of basketball, while showcasing the best of golf, fashion and entertainment.

New Program At Shark Reef! Turtle, Stingray, Shark FEED!!

    

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino invites guests to abandon their day jobs and get their feet (or in this case, hands) wet as a guest Aquarist with three new experiential programs. Aptly titled Animal Encounters, the program takes participants behind-the-scenes to assist in feeding the Aquarium’s most-admired residents including stingrays, green sea turtles and zebra sharks.

Stingray Feed

Guests can experience Las Vegas’ premier aquarium attraction like a true VIP with exclusive access prior to daily opening. An expert guide will tour participants through the 90,560-square-foot Shark Reef Aquarium which holds nearly 1.6-million gallons of water. After the private tour, guests are invited to roll up their sleeves and reach down into the touch pool to feed stingrays and horseshoe crabs a breakfast smorgasbord of shrimp, krill and fish. At the conclusion of their experience, guests will receive a memorable keepsake photo to take home and show off to friends.

The one-hour Stingray Feed experience takes place daily at 9:15 a.m. and is limited to four guests per session. Tickets are $50 per adult and $40 for children ages 5-12. Annual Pass member pricing is $45 per adult and $25 for children ages 5-12.

Sea Turtle Feed

OD the sea turtle captured hearts and headlines after a cross-country journey to Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef Aquarium last summer. Now, participants can get up close and personal with the beloved OD and his new Shipwreck mates during the Sea Turtle Feed program. This 45-minute experience begins with a behind-the-scenes tour of Shark Reef Aquarium where guests will gain insight into the facility’s daily operations. After picking up a nutritious feast from the Shark Reef kitchen, guests will be taken above the Shipwreck Exhibit to meet the 300-pound turtles who eagerly wait to be served. Participants may even get the chance to meet some of the other toothy residents of the exhibit during their feeding time.

The Sea Turtle Feed experience takes place Sunday – Friday at 12:45 p.m. and is limited to four people per session. The program is open to participants 13 years of age and older. Tickets are $70 per person and $60 for Annual Pass members and include admission to Shark Reef Aquarium as well as keepsake photos of the participants in action.

Shark Feed

What sharks eat and how they prefer their meals are just a couple of the questions participants will have answered during this one-hour interactive experience. Beginning with a behind-the-scenes tour of Shark Reef Aquarium, guests will admire the jaws of various species of sharks while demystifying myths and truths about nature’s most intriguing marine animal. Participants can then grab a feeding tong and serve lunch to the stunning zebra sharks while Aquarists demonstrate the feeding technique for the larger species. Staff members will capture guests in action and provide keepsake photos to ensure that every exhilarating moment is remembered.

The Shark Feed experience takes place Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1:15 p.m. and is limited to four guests per session. The program is open to participants 13 years of age and older. Tickets are $70 per person and $60 for Annual Pass members and include admission to Shark Reef Aquarium.

Participants in the Sea Turtle or Shark Feed programs can purchase a supplemental guided tour through Shark Reef Aquarium with an expert guide for an additional $25.

Each of these programs can be booked online at mandalaybay.com/shark-reef/animalencounters/ or by calling the box office at (702) 632-4555.
