The Raiders made the largest donation in team history Monday, gifting Intermountain Health $25 million to go toward the construction of the first stand-alone children’s hospital in Southern Nevada.
The contribution is made up of $10 million from the Raiders and $5 million each from team owners Mark Davis, Egon Durban and Michael Meldman.
“The Las Vegas Raiders are making our largest philanthropic commitment in franchise history because we are dedicated to building a healthier future for kids in Nevada,” Davis said in a statement. “We want this gift to remind children and families that they have our team backing them, and that the support of the entire Raider Nation is in their corner.”
The children’s hospital will be located at the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park in the southwest valley and will be the first of its kind in Nevada.
The 828,000-square-foot standalone children’s hospital will be on a 33-acre site and include 180 patient beds. Advanced emergency services designed for children and a full outpatient center alongside inpatient and specialty care will be offered at the facility.
“The Raiders are committed to excellence, and this gift is a generational investment that will keep families closer, strengthen our community, and give every kid every chance to thrive,” Mitch Cloward, Intermountain Health region president, said in a statement.
