LAS VEGAS, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas Sands
(NYSE: LVS) today announced nine-time GRAMMY award winner and
American music icon Sheryl Crow will
headline the 2020 Sands Cares INSPIRE charity concert benefiting
members of its Sands Cares Accelerator on May 28 at The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas. Tickets
go on sale at 10 a.m. Pacific,
Friday, February 21.
The show is part of Crow's summer concert tour and raises
critical funds for Sands Cares Accelerator members Green Our Planet
(GoP) and Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY). Sands will
donate all ticket sales from INSPIRE to the nonprofit organizations
as an integral component of the Accelerator's mission to enable
local community service providers to expand their reach, improve
their programs and better serve the community as part of their
three-year membership in the program.
A nine-time GRAMMY Award winner, Sheryl
Crow has cemented her legacy in music history. Her first
nine studio albums have sold 35 million copies worldwide, with
seven charting in the top 10 and five certified for Multi-Platinum
sales status. In addition to number one hits such as "All I Wanna
Do" and "Soak Up the Sun," Crow has lofted 40 singles into the
Billboard Hot 100, Adult Contemporary and other charts, with
more number one singles in the Triple A listings than any other
female artist. Beyond her accomplishments as a genre-defying,
internationally recognized artist, Crow is also known for her
passionate support of multiple charitable organizations, including
the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The World Food Program,
Feeding America, Adopt a Classroom, the Elton John AIDS Foundation,
Musicares, the Delta Children's Home and many other causes.
"With Sheryl Crow launching her new tour, Las Vegas concert fans can see one of the
summer's hottest shows, while helping our charity partners better
serve our community," said Ron
Reese, senior vice president of global communications and
corporate affairs at Sands. "The Accelerator works to propel
nonprofits forward in their service and impact, and funds raised
through INSPIRE ticket sales is one of the central ways we make
that happen."
Inspired by the entrepreneurial and philanthropic spirit of
Sands founder and CEO Sheldon G.
Adelson, the Sands Cares Accelerator brings his legacy to
life with a deeper corporate investment to advance the capabilities
of nonprofit organizations so they can better address the needs of
our community. Over a three-year membership in the program,
nonprofit members focus on building their capacity or elevating a
strategic initiative to better serve the community. Sands serves as
a committed corporate catalyst and mentor for helping the
organizations achieve their identified goals and strengthen their
abilities to deliver on their missions.
Now in its third year as an Accelerator member, Nevada
Partnership for Homeless Youth is the most comprehensive service
provider for the thousands of young people experiencing
homelessness in Southern Nevada,
which ranks among the top in the nation for the rate of
unaccompanied homeless youth living on the streets. Green Our
Planet joined the Accelerator in 2020 and operates one of the
largest and most comprehensive outdoor school garden and indoor
hydroponic programs in the United
States, teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering and
math), nutrition and conservation in a hands-on environment.
