Making a Difference: Dollar Loan Center
It’s official! The next few months are going to be hot, hot, hot! While most residents cringe when the outside temperatures broach the century mark, one local organization will be cheering for more. That’s because for the second year in a row, Dollar Loan Center is hosting their Heat is On campaign with Fox 5 Vegas in support of the nonprofit Opportunity Village.
During the summer-long initiative, Dollar Loan Center will be donating $100 to Opportunity Village for every day the official Las Vegas temperature reaches at least 100 degrees. “This is the second year we have hosted the Heat is On campaign and really enjoy it,” said Dollar Loan Center CEO Chuck Brennan. “It makes it a little easier to see so many ones and zeros in the forecast…when you know a very deserving organization will benefit from it.” If last year’s efforts, which raised $15,000, are any indication, that will be a certainty.
A well-known philanthropist, Brennan has also donated $10,000 to ensure a great 2011 season for the Henderson Little League, and hosted a food and donation drive to benefit Three Square Food Bank last December. To follow the Heat is On program, tune in to KVVU Fox 5 news every evening at 5, 10 and 11 p.m. or visit www.fox5vegas.com.
