Join Local Celebrities in Supporting Opportunity Village

During the Annual ‘Las Vegas Great Santa Run’

Performances by Human Nature and the Opportunity Village OV Elvi

Local celebrities are supporting the not-for-profit Opportunity Village during their annual holiday fundraiser, the Las Vegas Great Santa Run, on Saturday, Dec. 3 in Downtown Las Vegas. The event helps fund programs that provide unparalleled opportunities, enrichment and support to nearly 3,000 citizens with disabilities and their families throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

Human Nature will perform and be the Grand Marshals of the 2016 run, while the Strip’s famed Chippendales will serve as Marshals for the Kris Kringle Jingle Walk. Also in attendance to celebrate the event will be Mayor Carolyn Goodman, ‘Fantasy’ singer Lorena Peril, ‘Sexxy’ singer Gabriella Versace, George Dare, Fox 5 anchor Monica Jackson and Sunny 106.5’s Marco.

The OV Elvi, a dance troupe within Opportunity Village’s Fine and Performing Arts Program, will regale the audience with a performance. Dubbed ‘The World’s Only All-Elvis Dance Troupe,’ the OV Elvi have frequently graced the Las Vegas Great Santa Run stage in its 12 year history and make special appearances at other events throughout the Valley.
