Athletics Build-A-Bed Project April 18

UNLV Athletics is proud to continue its biannual Build-A-Bed Project in coordination with Sleep in Heavenly Peace. This year's build is scheduled for Saturday, April 18 beginning at 8 a.m. in the Thomas & Mack Parking lot. 

Since launching in spring 2022, UNLV Athletics has built over 200 beds through this initiative, with the two events held on campus in the Thomas & Mack Center parking lot. Each bed has been delivered to underprivileged children in need within our community. Originally driven by our student-athletes, this project has grown into a meaningful platform for them to give back and make a direct impact in the lives of local youth.

We invite everyone to stop by and join us as we build beds alongside our student-athletes in support of underprivileged children in our community.
