WHO:

Founded in July 2009 by Dr. Noah Kohn, Clinics In Schools is a Nevada non-profit corporation (Federal 501(c)(3) status pending) that provides school-based health care to the children of Nevada.  The event’s Honorary Chair is Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto. Dr. Kohn is available for interview both prior and on-site.

WHAT:

The event will feature food by Union Restaurant & Lounge, the new The Light Group restaurant at CityCenter; Cirque du Soleil “O” performers will be in attendance and interacting with guests; and there will be a specialty cocktail provided by Montecristo Rum.
