Carson City's Holiday with a Hero Holiday Crawl set for Dec. 1
Carson City's Holiday with a Hero announced Wednesday that its annual Holiday Crawl through downtown Carson City will be held on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 5 to 10 p.m.
The Holiday with a Hero committee hosts the Holiday Crawl, a festive pub crawl through downtown bars, to raise money for the annual shopping spree for children who classify as homeless in Carson City.
The Holiday Crawl draws hundreds annually who walk through downtown Carson City, taking in entertainment from talented local bands and artists, including Bootleg, Eross, Jimmy V Music (Jimmy VanDeuson II), Athena McIntyre, and Gary Wheeler, as well as enjoying food and beverages offered at local bars.
In past years, Holiday with a Hero donations annually have benefited approximately 300 children living in cars, campgrounds, motels or shared spaces, and are part of the Carson City School District McKinney-Vento Students in Transition program.
All proceeds go to Holiday with a Hero, the annual drive by local law enforcement, firefighters, military service members and others to provide a Christmas shopping trip for underprivileged schoolchildren (kindergarten through eighth grade). Each child receives a $100 Walmart gift card to shop with their leader.
The Carson City Fire Department, Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Nevada Department of Corrections and several other local organizations provide volunteers for the event.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, also donations are welcome. Check-in is 4 p.m. in Downtown Carson City at the Studio 177 W Proctor St.
More information can be found at www.HolidayWithAHero.com or follow them on Facebook and Instagram. Must be 21-year-old to participate.

The Crawl draws hundreds of people to downtown Carson City for an evening of music, entertainment and raffle prizes.
