 The Shade Tree is dedicated to improving the lives of women, children and their pets affected by domestic violence and crisis in the Las Vegas Valley. As the largest and only 24-hour accessible shelter of its kind in Nevada, The Shade Tree provides help, healing and hope to more than 6,000 women, children and their pets each year. All the proceeds raised at the HERO 5k fundraiser will go directly to the Las Vegas shelter to help fund much needed programs that assist the women, children and pets living at Shade Tree.
