‘For the Love of Art’ Fundraiser at Fremont Street Experience

Wednesday, July 27,  Flightlinez and the Fremont Street Experience held an event to fund arts programs at Las Vegas’ own Opportunity Village where 100% of proceeds from a day of zipline rides was donated to the charity.

Kicking off  the fundraiser were“Official Elvis of Las Vegas” Jesse Garon and MobileMinister.com Elvis Roland August donned in scarves made by Opportunity Village.  The event featured the beautiful scarves made by citizens of Opportunity Village, along with baked goods from their culinary program that were all for sale. Emergency Arts also provided artwork for sale and had demonstrations by live artists throughout the day.

The event hosted more than a thousand riders and raised just under $20,000 for the charity. Flightlinez has been doing monthly charitable events since February, giving back more than $125,000 to local charities.

What is the connection to Elvis? Many people don’t know that Opportunity Village made every scarf that Elvis gave away from the stage as well as other items for the King of Rock and Roll. In the late 60s Elvis Presley’s manager, Colonel Parker, came to Opportunity Village for a tour and noticed that the citizens in the Employment Resource Center were working on sewing contracts. Colonel Parker then contracted the charity to sew all of Elvis’ scarves that he would kiss and throw out to his audience. Opportunity Village soon became the “official manufacturer of the Elvis Presley Scarves.”

Every scarf that Elvis gave away from stage came from Opportunity Village and were shipped to Elvis across the world. Elvis himself even visited the charity. Additionally, Opportunity Village made all of the “Elvis Live at the Hilton” promotional buttons and the ribbons that were on the hound dogs sold at the Elvis performances and in his gift shop at the Las Vegas Hilton.  The Art Enrichment Program at Opportunity Village, makes scarves using silk as a medium for artistic expression and their many special artists have created beautiful scarves at Opportunity Village ever since.

Las Vegas Hilton Hosts 2nd Annual Las Vegas Elvis Fest

It’s been 35 years since Elvis performed at the Las Vegas Hilton.  He has since passed on, but his spirit was alive and well during the 2nd annual Las Vegas Elvis Fest which was held Thursday through Sunday, July 28 -30 at the Las Vegas Hilton.  Everywhere you looked there were Elvis lookalikes, wannabees and genuine tribute artists in every shape, size and ethnicity.


The three-day event was hosted by one of Elvis’ closest friends and road manager Joe Esposito and featured over forty of the world’s top Elvis Tribute Artists (ETAs) participating in a Tribute Artist Showcase, the Heart of the King Awards Concert, and the special recreation of Elvis’ “That’s the Way it Is” concert featuring Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Shawn Klush appearing on stage with Elvis’ back up singers the Sweet Inspirations, Elvis’ Imperials and comedian Sammy Shore who opened for Elvis during the original show.

The renowned photographer has spent the last few months photographing the Jubilee! performers, collecting rare behind-the-scene glimpses of the girls who make up the longest-running show in Las Vegas. Also in attendance was famed costume designer Pete Menefee, who recently designed 20 new costumes for the show’s Titanic Pier scene, which were unveiled for the first time during the 30th anniversary performance.

A short year later, Alissa underwent two surgeries at Shriners Hospitals for Children- Los Angeles, received her first prosthesis right before her first birthday and was walking one month later.

On Wednesday, July 6,, at the 2011 Imperial Session of Shriners International in Denver, Alissa’s story was premiered in the Shriners Hospitals for Children patient success video, “A Tale of Two Patients.” Directed by Christopher Coppola, the video featured Alissa and Kate’s journeys with Shriners Hospitals for Children and the young girls’ strength and courage throughout the process.
