A September Moment with the Founder
A glimpse of behind the scenes filming with our ‘Moment with the Founder’ on location at Torino Ranch; stay tuned for the full video this Thursday. #TorinoRanch
Last week, we had the immense pleasure of hosting the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation’s SEEK Teen Retreat, an annual therapeutic retreat with activities focused on self-reflection, personal growth, team building, and enhancing self-esteem for teen patients and their siblings. Although our motivation for supporting this program comes purely from a desire to offer these young teens the personal support they need, we occasionally receive heartfelt notes from campers that reaffirm we’re making a difference. These simple gestures mean the world to us—thank you to the camper who left this special token of appreciation. Your kindness reminds us that we’re on the right track, and we are happier and healthier because of you! With love from all of us at BTF, and Mr. Torino (aka Brett) wants you to know you’re an inspiration too! #torinoranch @nvccf
