Route 91 Memorial Meet & Greet (Online)

The Route 91 community is invited to a meet-and-greet reception online with the Board of Directors of the Vegas Strong Fund (VSF). For close to seven years, the VSF has been devoted to those affected by the tragic events of 1 October by raising funds to support the Las Vegas Victim’s Fund, establishing a scholarship program for the children of those impacted, and making grants to support gatherings for survivors and victims’ families to connect and remember.

The VSF is now honored to embark on the next chapter of this collective healing journey with the creation of a permanent memorial. The fundraising and construction phase of the memorial process comes after three years of work by the 1 October Memorial Committee, appointed by the Clark County Commission, whose efforts included seeking input from families of victims, survivors, emergency responders, and all those impacted about what they would like to see in a permanent memorial. The VSF Board’s aspiration is to create a campaign that continues to facilitate our collective healing journey and that reflects the courage, resilience, and heart of our community and beyond.

The board hopes to see you at the reception. Please reach out to Alex Bybee, Executive Director of the VSF, with any questions at alex@foreveronememorial.com.

In addition to the virtual gathering, the VSF will host an in-person event in Las Vegas on August 20 at 5:30 p.m. PT. RSVP to that event by Friday, August 16, by clicking here. Space is limited to the first 100 registrants, so don’t wait to register.
