And December’s Vegas Stronger Champions Robert and Sandy Ellis are working even harder in 2020 to make sure that’s not the case. This philanthropic couple has been providing Christmas gifts to Clark County kids for nearly two decades.

Profile: The Real Deal
When it comes to supporting public education — whether it’s downtrodden older schools, underprivileged students, or even this expansive new school — the Henderson couple is among the most generous philanthropic duos in the state. In the past 15 years, they have donated millions to more than two dozen schools, mostly in Clark and Lincoln counties. Each December, they sponsor assemblies at which they distribute shoes, socks, and toys to thousands of students who would otherwise not receive anything for the holiday season.
