Olympia Companies SH Charitable Foundation Makes a $1.3 Million Splash for Nine Local Charities at First-Ever Pancake Breakfast and Pool Party

Recently, Olympia Companies SH Charitable Foundation hosted its first-ever special celebratory Pancake Breakfast and Pool Party to present nine local charities with proceeds raised at this year’s 19^th annual Governor’s Black-Tie event. Representatives from the local charities including; Andson, Assistance League of Nevada, Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada, Candlelighters, Children’s Heart Foundation, Discovery Children’s Museum, Folded Flag Foundation, Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation and Opportunity Village were invited to bring a delegation from their respective organizations for a fun-filled morning at The Spa at Southern Highlands featuring a delicious breakfast, poolside activities, a swim party, and of course – the checks!

Upon arrival, founder of Olympia Companies SH Charitable Foundation and CEO of Olympia Companies, Gary Goett, presented each of the nine charities with oversized checks. Nearly 160 attendees joined together for photo-ops celebrating the successful, philanthropic endeavors to improve the quality of life of women and children in Southern Nevada.

Following the check presentation, attendees enjoyed a hot breakfast served buffet-style on the lawn that included pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, baked goodies, juices and a live-action omelet station.

Once given the green light that the pool was open, the kids cashed in on their party favors supplied by OCSHCF that included beach balls, bubble wands, sunscreen, water toys and more and made a splash. Properly equipped for maximum fun, it was finally party time! Having set up dozens of yard games on the lawn including a water balloon toss, a grass-painted soccer field, a giant toppling Jenga game, oversized hopscotch, and much more, kids had the choice between swimming, playing games, hamming it up with props in the photo booth, getting a couple of temporary tattoos, or even opting for a colorful face painting!

It is estimated that over 100 naps were taken later in the day, and although tummies were full, hearts were even fuller as the Pancake Pool Party and Check Presentation came to a close. With that, we’d like to thank each and every one who joined us for yet another fun-filled and memorable event.
