A day to give back to those who give so much. 💙
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 — a special day dedicated to restoring and supporting Southern Nevada’s 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.
We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to give back to those who serve our community with such courage, compassion, and heart. 💙
Today we join in recognizing National Thank a Police Officer Day — a day dedicated to honoring the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. 💙
There are so many meaningful ways to show appreciation:
✔️ A heartfelt “thank you” in person
✔️ Dropping off coffee or treats at your local station
✔️ Writing a card or note of gratitude
✔️ Displaying blue lights or ribbons in support
✔️ 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, let’s show our appreciation for their service and dedication.

🌟 Today, on National Day of Charity, we pause to celebrate the power of giving back. 🌟
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 — filled with hope, happiness, and heart. #NationalDayOfCharity
We’re 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 Children’s 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 — 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 — no matter the challenges they face.
“Providing continuity in education… is not only essential for their academic success, but also for their emotional well-being,” 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! 💛 Your continued support of NV Childhood Cancer Foundation and the children we serve means the world.

Exciting News!
We`re thrilled to announce the launch of Bee 100%, a brand-new podcast by the Brett Torino Foundation! 🐝🎙️
In this intimate series, we’ll take you behind the scenes to explore the incredible organizations we support and the meaningful work they do. From community-driven efforts in giving back to environmental stewardship, each episode offers a closer look at the impact we’re making together.
The name Bee 100% is not just a nod to our very own Bees that reside at Torino Ranch’s honey farm but also serves as a reminder to BEE 100% in everything we do. Whether it’s supporting others or chasing our own dreams, the message is clear: no matter what you choose to be in life, always give it your full effort and passion, just like our bees do.
Join us on this journey—because when we give 100%, and WE make a world of difference! 🌍💚
