Conservation
Intrinsically tied to the Foundation’s work is the spectacular environment in which it rests. Therefore, the Brett Torino Foundation is committed to supporting the conservation and preservation of Lovell Canyon by providing an ecological sanctuary for the surrounding Toiyabe Forest animals, removing debris dumped in Lovell Canyon, and partnering with government entities for protective legislation and programs.
Education
The Brett Torino Foundation Education Services together with Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, has developed a number of education services designed to meet the educational needs of every child diagnosed with cancer in Southern Nevada. The program provides a way for chronically-ill children to continue their education even if they are too ill to attend school.
Sanctuary
The Brett Torino Foundation funds and executes summer camps and education programs for critically or chronically ill children, and those with special needs. Through preserving and sharing the natural environment of its home location, Lovell Canyon in the Toiyabe National Forest, the foundation offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences that bring profound joy, connection and enlightenment to those in need.
Meet Brett Torino
Brett Torino, a developer, entrepreneur and lifelong philanthropist created the Brett Torino Foundation more than twenty years ago after spending millions of dollars and dozens of years building his outdoor sanctuary, Torino Ranch. His desire to share nature’s majesty with those in need became a passion that developed events, programs and educational opportunities for critically ill or special needs children.
“My purpose is to inspire people. It’s about showing you care and making a difference.”
Brett Torino Foundation is honored to support the efforts of the Metropolitan Police Department Foundation @lvmpdfoundation “Santa Cops” program - a heartfelt initiative that brings together police officers and children for a special shopping spree during the holiday season. Our dedicated officers play the role of Santa‘s helpers, guiding young hearts through a shopping adventure filled with warmth, laughter, and the joy of giving. This initiative is not just about gifts; it’s about building connections and fostering a sense of community.

Thank you, @VegasPBS, for sharing this wonderful story highlighting the longstanding partnership between the Brett Torino Foundation and the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. This segment was filmed on location at Torino Ranch during the summer at Camp Cartwheel. The Brett Torino Foundation has been honored to host children and their families, providing them with an oasis of outdoor recreation and magical moments during the summer for the last 25 years. https://www.vegaspbs.org/blogs/nevada-week-season-6/help-and-hope-for-young-cancer-patients-senior-performers/
In honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are immensely proud of our longstanding partnership of over two decades with @nvccf. Together, we have diligently championed the cause of raising awareness about this illness and have been dedicated to advancing services provided to the children and their families. Over the years, our collaborative efforts have resulted in the development of educational services for children undergoing treatments and the establishment of a refuge through the summer camps at Torino Ranch, where cherished memories are created, offering a respite from the challenges faced by these young fighters. @kariofmanycolors @celenahaas1

A round of applause for another captivating camp experience with @sunshinenevadaorg! Immerse yourself in the world of camp I AM and TLC through this informative video, capturing the essence of camp life. While camp may be seen as a typical experience for some children, for those living with autism, it is an extraordinary and transformative journey. From engaging activities to forming meaningful connections with others and nature, both the campers and volunteers have created countless cherished memories. Stay connected with us throughout the year for captivating camp images on our social media, pages and website.
ICYMI: Proud to partner with @saveredrock and other local groups @centennial_subaru @republic_services and more for Lovell Canyon clean up with nearly 100 volunteers. We are committed to the continuous preservation and beauty of our nature lands.
Thanks for the love @sunshinenevadaorg! As we so often say "it takes a village!" Thank you for your dedication to children living with developmental disorders such as autism. 🥰🤗❤️
Thrilled to host @Sunshinenevadaorg summer camp at Torino Ranch helping those living with autism, we have waited more than 3 years to see all these smiling faces of the children. Can’t wait to host you all again next year! #givingback
It takes a village to support children with critical illnesses, to wrap services around them, and ensure that they and their families feel deeply supported. Summer camp fun not only brings joy but also instills strength and courage within them, empowering them to face medical challenges throughout the year. Together, we form a close-knit family, united in our dedication to their well-being. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ @nvccf @8newsnow @8newsnowkirsten @kirsten.joyce
