We are proud to recognize Emily Feak of Three Square Food Bank as the newest recipient of the Adam Kutner Cares Community Champion Award. Her leadership, compassion, and dedication to serving Southern Nevada make her an extraordinary force in the fight against hunger.

As Volunteer Manager at Three Square, Emily plays a vital role in ensuring that the organization can meet the growing demand for food assistance across our community. She leads a mission-driven volunteer team with vision and heart, reimagining engagement strategies, streamlining operations, and creating meaningful ways for supporters to get involved.

Under Emily’s guidance, volunteerism has become central to nearly every aspect of Three Square’s work — from warehouse operations and kitchen support to mobile food distributions, senior hunger initiatives, and community outreach. Last year alone, more than 66,000 volunteer hours were contributed, equivalent to 33 full-time employees. This impact is a testament to both the generosity of the community and the strength of Emily’s leadership.

Whether she is coordinating large-scale volunteer events or working one-on-one with individuals looking to make a difference, Emily leads with integrity, compassion, and a deep sense of purpose. She fosters a culture of appreciation, builds lasting relationships, and brings out the very best in everyone around her.

Emily, thank you for your unwavering commitment to ending hunger in Southern Nevada and for the tremendous impact you make every day. We are honored to celebrate you as a true Community Champion.

Our team had the incredible honor of accepting the Community Hero Award from Nevada Child Seekers, a nonprofit whose mission strengthen and protect children and families throughout Nevada. This recognition means a great deal to us, but even more meaningful is the opportunity to support the life-changing work this organization leads every day.

Nevada Child Seekers is dedicated to advocating for missing, exploited, and at-risk children. Their team works tirelessly to provide safety resources, prevention education, family support, and community outreach. Being acknowledged by an organization that pours so much heart and commitment into our state is both humbling and inspiring.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the entire Nevada Child Seekers team—not only for this award, but for welcoming us into your mission. Through donations, volunteer efforts, and ongoing participation in your community events, we are proud to stand alongside you in service of Nevada’s children.

At Adam Kutner Cares, we believe that strong communities are built through compassion, partnership, and consistent action. Today’s recognition reinforces our commitment to give back in ways that truly make a difference.

Thank you, Nevada Child Seekers, for the meaningful work you do and for letting us be part of it. We look forward to continuing this important work together.

Surprises are always special, but surprising an extraordinary educator makes the moment unforgettable. This week, our team joined our partners at CCSD Engage to visit Vegas Verdes Elementary School, where we proudly inducted Mrs. Audra Richardson into the Adam Kutner Cares Community Champion Award family.

Mrs. Richardson is a passionate and innovative STEM teacher who transforms her classroom into a hub of creativity, exploration, and possibility. Whether she is guiding students through imaginative Cardboard Arcade projects or leading the school’s LEGO League after-school program, her teaching approach sparks curiosity and builds confidence in young learners.

Her dedication helps students dream big and see themselves as future engineers, designers, problem-solvers, and changemakers. Through hands-on learning and meaningful challenges, she shows her students that innovation begins with believing in themselves.

As part of her recognition, Mrs. Richardson received a commemorative award plaque and tickets to today’s Vegas Golden Knights game, where she’ll also enjoy an unforgettable ride on the Adam Kutner Zamboni.

Please join us in celebrating this remarkable educator and the impact she makes every day. Her creativity and commitment are shaping the next generation of leaders, one inspired student at a time.

Honoring service, leadership, and inspiration is at the heart of the Adam Kutner Cares mission. This week, we had the privilege of doing just that.

Alongside our partners at CCSD Engage, our team had the honor of surprising Captain Jason Small, NJROTC instructor at Clark High School, with the Adam Kutner Cares Community Champion Award.

Captain Small’s legacy of service spans more than 30 years in the United States Navy. His career reflects bravery, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to others. Today, he continues that legacy in the classroom, guiding the next generation of leaders through Clark High School’s NJROTC program.

Through his mentorship, students learn discipline, teamwork, confidence, and the value of education. Captain Small opens doors to opportunities many students never imagined, including college scholarships, leadership pathways, and community service experiences that shape their futures.

To honor his impact, Captain Small received a commemorative plaque, two tickets to the Vegas Golden Knights game, and a special moment many fans can only dream of: an opportunity to ride the Adam Kutner Zamboni.

Captain Small, thank you for your decades of service to our country and for the powerful influence you continue to have on the students of Southern Nevada. Your dedication inspires us, and we are proud to celebrate you as a true Community Champion.
