LAS VEGAS, Feb. 9, 2024 ~ Las Vegas, NV - On Friday, Feb. 9, professional football player Chase Brown joined nearly 200 volunteers to help revitalize a Las Vegas-area neighborhood as part of Kickoff to Rebuild, an annual Super Bowl-sanctioned event. The event was organized by Rebuilding Together, a leading national nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding communities in need, and Lowe's, the Official Home Improvement Sponsor of the NFL.

The Valley View neighborhood, located southeast of Las Vegas in Henderson, is a 578-acre residential community primarily consisting of single-family homes. However, many of these homes are showing signs of deterioration and affordable housing in the area is declining. This has left several homeowners unable to make essential repairs and at risk of losing their homes.

Through Kickoff to Rebuild, Rebuilding Together has been able to repair more than 176 homes, engage over 5,200 volunteers and invest $6 million in communities in need. "At Rebuilding Together, we work not only to repair homes but revitalize communities and rebuild lives," said Caroline Blakely, president and CEO of Rebuilding Together.

This year's event was led by the nonprofit's local affiliate, Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada. With the help of Lowe's red vest associates, community volunteers and local contractors, they were able to provide total roof and door replacements, new windows, extensive bathroom upgrades and new water heaters for six families in the Valley View neighborhood.

John Brooks, Lowe's regional vice president expressed his pride in being a part of this event saying "As a part of Lowe's longtime partnership with Rebuilding Together, we are proud to have had more than 140 red vest associates onsite to volunteer and share their DIY expertise to help families remain in their homes for years to come."

In addition to home repairs for these families in need, volunteers also worked on community improvements such as adding a fresh coat of paint to the gymnasium at the local branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and cleaning up tree trimmings throughout the neighborhood to create safer streets.

"Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada has provided 30 years of work in the Southern Nevada region, and we are proud to help these homeowners protect their most valuable asset and help to pass a safe home down to the next generation," said Bob Cleveland, executive director of Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada.

The event was made possible by additional sponsors and partners including CreditOne Bank, ADT, Affordable Tree Service, Republic Services, City of Henderson, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada's John C. Kish Club.
