“The Winged Heart Awards are an opportunity for us to come together as a community and recognize the incredible dedication of our local nurses, nonprofits, and first responders,” said Dr. Alexander. “We encourage residents of Southern Nevada to submit a nomination for someone who has made an impact on their life.”
This year’s Winged Heart Awards are proudly presented by the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation, who regularly demonstrate their commitment to our community both on and off the ice.
