At home games, we’re honored to spotlight a community Difference Maker — and on June 8, we recognized Dr. Christina Vela 🖤🏀
As the CEO of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, Dr. Vela has dedicated more than 25 years to serving children, youth, and families in crisis through foster care, homeless services, and supportive programs that create pathways to hope and healing.
Known as a true “Hustler for Hope,” Dr. Vela’s impact extends far beyond her role at St. Jude’s Ranch. From state and federal leadership positions to community advocacy and national board service, she continues to make a lasting difference throughout Southern Nevada and beyond.
Thank you, Dr. Vela, for your unwavering commitment to helping children and families in our community thrive. ✨
