SPECIAL EVENTS

2011 Notte di Carnevale!!

On Saturday, October 15th, 2011 FIT hosted the 14th annual Notte di Carnevale gala at Caesars Palace honoring Siegfried & Roy. The evening began with a beautiful silent auction, passed hor d'oeuvres and cocktails. It was a fantastic night for a great cause with well over 300 guests present in support of FIT's main cause to get southern Nevadans back to work one job at a time. As the evening passed and speeches were few but heartfelt, Siegfried & Roy were presented with the Civitas Laurel award, guests were entertained with lived music and a great dinner was enjoyed amongst the friends and sponsors of FIT.

Described by Luxury Las Vegas Magazine as a "must attend" social event, this special evening begins with a hosted cocktail reception and lively silent auction, followed by a gourmet dinner, and dancing with live entertainment. Each year a special VIP honoree is featured, but speeches are few and the focus is a joyful time among friends. Help support FIT's mission to move people into:

Better Jobs. Brighter Futures.

Kids at Holiday Menorah FIT's Annual Holiday Celebration

Each December, FIT clients attend our annual holiday party and a great time is had by all. Children play games and make crafts such as candy cane reindeer and holiday wreaths. Parents sneak off to Santa's workshop to choose toys to wrap and take home for their children. Clients have the opportunity to be specifically "adopted" for the holiday. Clients submit essays and a wish list to HolidayAssistance@lasvegasfit.org - last December, fifteen (15) families with forty (40) children were adopted.
