Making a Difference

The Hot August Nights Foundation annual coat drive has collected and helped distribute through our partner, the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, nearly 10,000 coats since the program first started in 2000.

Providing needed new or gently used winter coats to families in need supports youth that may otherwise go without. The success of this program has been made possible by the incredible support of hundreds of residents and businesses in the community.
