April 2024
Our second and final Shop with a Cop event at @walmart was the perfect way to close out this yearโs program. ๐
At the Brett Torino Foundation, we are honored to support initiatives that bring law enforcement, families, and community together in meaningful ways.
Thank you to Walmart, @macys, Undersheriff Walsh, and all the officers and families who made the two days of shopping with Police officers so special for these kids. This is what community looks like. ๐โจ @lvmpd @lvmpdfoundation

We were honored to sponsor our first Shop With a Cop event of 2025 at @macys, one of the most meaningful programs we support each year. This two-part event serves hundreds of deserving children from some of the more vulnerable communities in Las Vegas, offering them a joyful holiday shopping experience and a chance to choose gifts they can truly call their own.
More importantly, Shop with a Cop helps children see police officers in a new light โ as dedicated protectors, mentors, and compassionate members of their community. These shared moments help bridge perceptions and build trust, showing kids that officers are here for them, their families, and their future.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the participating officers for their time, heart, and unwavering commitment to these children. Thank you for showing them that you are the good guys โ the ones who care, protect, and stand with their community. ๐๐๐ฎโโ๏ธ @lvmpdfoundation @lvmpd

A day to give back to those who give so much. ๐
The Brett Torino Foundation was honored to welcome members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (METRO) and their families to Torino Ranch for the Wellness Bureau Retreat โ a special day dedicated to restoring and supporting Southern Nevadaโs law enforcement community.
Created and produced by Behind the Blue, the retreat offers a much-needed escape from the daily stress and trauma inherent in police work. Surrounded by the healing beauty of nature, participants spent the day relaxing, laughing, and reconnecting through shared experiences and meaningful moments of reflection.
A heartfelt thank-you to the incredible team at Behind the Blue and especially to Joe Hearns for his vision and leadership in making this retreat possible.
Weโre deeply grateful for the opportunity to give back to those who serve our community with such courage, compassion, and heart. ๐
Today we join in recognizing National Thank a Police Officer Day โ a day dedicated to honoring the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. ๐
There are so many meaningful ways to show appreciation:
โ๏ธ A heartfelt โthank youโ in person
โ๏ธ Dropping off coffee or treats at your local station
โ๏ธ Writing a card or note of gratitude
โ๏ธ Displaying blue lights or ribbons in support
โ๏ธ Sharing your positive stories and experiences
The Brett Torino Foundation is proud to support @lvmpd and this day of recognition, and we encourage you to take a moment to thank the officers in our community. Together, letโs show our appreciation for their service and dedication.

๐ Today, on National Day of Charity, we pause to celebrate the power of giving back. ๐
The Brett Torino Foundation is proud to honor our long-standing partnership with @sunshinenevadaorg and the incredible work they do to bring joy, connection, and support to children and families. From unforgettable experiences at Torino Ranch to the lasting friendships built through this program, we are continually inspired by the impact this partnership has on so many lives.
Together, we believe in creating moments that matter โ filled with hope, happiness, and heart. #NationalDayOfCharity
Weโre proud to share, Brett Torino Foundation in partnership with Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation (NVCCF), has taken its Education Services program bedside to children receiving treatment at the Childrenโs Medical Center at Summerlin Hospital.
When a child is fighting cancer or another life-threatening illness, they often fall behind in school. This program provides vital continuity โ offering tutoring, learning support, and advocacy so that no child falls behind while they heal. This expansion reflects the power of community partnerships and the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to keep learning โ no matter the challenges they face.
โProviding continuity in educationโฆ is not only essential for their academic success, but also for their emotional well-being,โ said Brett Torino.
Thank you @8newsnow and @kirsten.joyce for shining a spotlight on the team making this possible! @nvccf
A heartfelt thank you to @lvmpd for bringing joy, safety and smiles to Camp Cartwheel at Torino Ranch! ๐ Your continued support of NV Childhood Cancer Foundation and the children we serve means the world.
