Olympia Companies Charitable Foundation will turn the pool deck at Southern Highlands Golf Club into a summer celebration as OCCF Co-Founder Garry Goett and Executive Director Angela Rock present donation checks to representatives from each of the nine charities from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, May 21.
The family-friendly afternoon at Spa at Southern Highlands Golf Club, 2 Robert Trent Jones Lane, in Las Vegas will feature a pool party atmosphere with kids splashing in the pool, colorful summer décor, oversized lawn games, a crafty corner, burger bash, music and more.
The donations are part of the $2 million+ raised during the Governor’s Black-Tie event.
