WHAT:
Flightlinez and the Fremont Street Experience will donate all revenues from zipline rides on Thursday, Dec. 8 from noon to midnight to Alpha Men & Divas of Tomorrow. Due to lack of funds this year, the charity was forced to cancel an important college tour and other activities, creating a great, immediate need for funds to keep the positivity of this organization moving forward.
Alpha Men & Divas of Tomorrow is a leadership organization for high school youth that, through positive experiences such as volunteering, community service and tutoring, prepare students to further their academic success by graduating from high school and attending a 4-year college or university. Funds allow the organization to provide much needed services to these students including: setting up community service and volunteer opportunities, scholarships, ACT/SAT training and tutoring in academic studies.
Flightlinez is committed to serving the Las Vegas community by hosting charitable fundraisers throughout the year. In early 2011, Flightlinez and Fremont Street Experience began hosting these monthly events and have donated nearly $150,000 to local charities.
