In past years, Holiday with a Hero donations annually have benefited approximately 300 children living in cars, campgrounds, motels or shared spaces, and are part of the Carson City School District McKinney-Vento Students in Transition program.

All proceeds go to Holiday with a Hero, the annual drive by local law enforcement, firefighters, military service members and others to provide a Christmas shopping trip for underprivileged schoolchildren (kindergarten through eighth grade). Each child receives a $100 Walmart gift card to shop with their leader. The Carson City Fire Department, Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Nevada Department of Corrections and several other local organizations provide volunteers for the event. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, also donations are welcome. Check-in is 4 p.m. in Downtown Carson City at the Studio 177 W Proctor St.
