VETERANS DAY WEEKEND ON ICE: Reno Ice Raiders vs Bozeman
We are excited to announce our partnership with the Reno Ice Raiders Hockey Team for our second annual Military Appreciation Charity Hockey Games, scheduled to take place over Veterans Day weekend.
This year, we are proud to sponsor a double-header event on Saturday night, "Battle 4 Nevada," featuring the Reno Raider Battalion Veteran Hockey Team against the Las Vegas Battle Born Veteran Hockey Team, followed immediately by the Reno Ice Raiders Hockey games. Both Veteran teams, along with the NNVA, are 501(c)(3) charity organizations dedicated to supporting our local veterans.
Last year, the Reno Ice Raiders Military Appreciation Charity Games were a tremendous success, raising over $5,000 for the NNVA through two sold-out games. This year, we aim to make the event even bigger and better, with all proceeds going directly to veterans in need of assistance.
BATTLE 4 NEVADA: The Reno Raider Battalion Veteran Team vs the Las Vegas Battle Born Veteran team starting at 1700 (5:00pm) followed by the Reno Ice Raiders vs Bozeman starting at 2000 (8:00pm).

NNVA Veteran Lecture Series
In the anguished hours after 9/11, General Lodrige recounts the harrowing experience of leading his Washington, D.C.–based F-16 squadron in a moment forged by uncertainty and driven by duty. His story is a powerful testament to courage under fire, the burden of command, and the unwavering spirit of those who stand watch when our nation needs them most.
