LAS VEGAS – Foundation Assisting Seniors, a volunteer-run community resource providing medical equipment, wellness support, and daily wellness check services to local seniors and veterans, announces that it will honor Lynette Chappell at its signature annual Illuminate the Night gala on September 24 at 5:30 p.m. at Via Tivoli Estate in Seven Hills.
For over 45 years, Chappell graced the stages of Las Vegas, captivating audiences as the iconic Evil Queen alongside Siegfried & Roy. Beyond her decades of performances, she has dedicated herself to supporting hundreds of charitable efforts throughout the Southern Nevada community.
“Lynette has been an incredible friend to our Foundation, generously lending her time, her voice, and her heart to our mission,” said Vicki Bertin, President & CEO of Foundation Assisting Seniors. “We’re honored to shine a spotlight on her generosity, and we can’t think of anyone more deserving of this year’s honor at our inaugural Illuminate the Night gala.”
In addition to Chappell, Governor Joe Lombardo and UNLV’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Chris Heavey are confirmed to be in attendance.
Illuminate the Night will
feature an elegant cocktail garden reception and candlelit dinner under the stars, and silent and live auctions to raise awareness of Foundation Assisting Seniors’ mission to support older adults throughout the Las Vegas Valley by removing the administrative, insurance, and financial barriers that often stand between older adults and the care they need.
Proceeds raised will directly support the Foundation Assisting Seniors and its free programming, which includes a Medical Equipment Distribution Program with a ready inventory of durable medical equipment (DME), provided to clients at no cost, and the “HowRU” Daily Wellness Check program which provides daily wellness calls to seniors throughout the community.
Individual gala tickets are priced at $500, sponsorship opportunities are available starting at $5,000, and advertising opportunities begin at $1,500. To purchase tickets or learn more, visit http://www.foundationassistingseniors.org/illuminate-the-night/.
