Please help us congratulate our September Community Member of the Month, Jared!  Jared came to learn about NNCCF through “The Big Dig,” now known as “Dozers & Dirt,” and has become one of our strongest advocates in the community.  He has served as the Committee Chair for Dozers & Dirt since 2021 and is proud to be a partner in Help. Hope. and Courage.  Read his interview below:

How did you first get connected with NNCCF?

Mike Soukup from Granite Construction invited me to “The Big Dig” 10 years ago, and I had so much fun operating the machines with the kids. Then I met Jeff from the Sheriff’s department, who introduced me to NNCCF. We moved “The Big Dig” to “Dozers and Dirt,” of which I now serve on the committee as chair.

What is your NNCCF “why”? 

Because it’s one of the best organizations in Reno! They truly care about local families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis, and I will do whatever it takes to support them!

What is one thing you’ve done for NNCCF that you’re proud of?

Helping to grow Dozers & Dirt to be the best event in Reno, Nevada!

If you could meet anyone, past or present, who would you meet and why?

Craig Kelly – because he was the best snowboarder in the world!
