Lending a hand,
however we can.
Causes we care about
Along with making the financial lives of our clients better, we're improving our community, too. Through financial support, volunteerism and collaboration with partners, we're helping to build a stronger community.
Starlight Children's Foundation
While healthy children often grow up enjoying spaces designed for play, learning, and discovery, children with serious illnesses must spend an inordinate amount of time in a medical environment. Our office supports projects that turn sterile hospital rooms into lively, vibrant play spaces that provide kids undergoing treatment with the best in entertainment, education and one-of-a-kind experiences.
Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation
The mission of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada is to provide emotional support, quality of life programs, and financial assistance for children and their families affected by childhood cancer. Northwestern Mutual Las Vegas has a history of support for Candlelighters, including serving as the host for several “Kids Day Out” activities for patients.
KindVR
Northwestern Mutual Las Vegas' increasing investment in technology has many applications. One of these is helping address procedural distress in children with cancer through the use of virtual reality (VR). KindVR is a research-based company whose goal is to make it easy for hospitals to provide virtual reality therapy for every patient in need. Northwestern Mutual has made possible the use of three VR headsets at Cure 4 the Kids in Las Vegas.
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer
Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15. ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual has donated more than $20 million to support ALSF. Locally, the Las Vegas office is proud to donate money that will go toward changing the lives of children with cancer.
Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times
Camp Ronald McDonald has given more than 43,000 children fighting cancer the opportunity to experience the fun, laughter and joy of life in a safe environment. Northwestern Mutual Las Vegas has been a long-time supporter of the camp as part of our ongoing efforts to create a positive impact on children with cancer.
