"We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation from Grand Sierra Resort," said Kim Young, The Children's Cabinet CEO. "These funds will make a significant impact on the lives of the students at Redfield Academy, providing them with the support they need to thrive academically. GSR's ongoing commitment to education and community well-being exemplifies the kind of partnership that truly makes a difference in the lives of our youth."
