Nevada Military Support Alliance
The Reno-Tahoe Open is proud to announce its charitable platform of 2012, for the third year in a row, the Nevada Military Support Alliance. The Nevada Military Support Alliance (NMSA) is designed to provide support and coordinated integration to all Nevadans who have served or are presently serving in the United States military at a level that has not been achieved until today. The Nevada Military Support Alliance works with all aspects of the military to identify gaps in service and create the bridges to close those gaps. The Reno-Tahoe Open has an entire 'Salute to Troops' theme in 2012 including a military museum, a Patriots' Outpost hospitality tent for members of the military, a Patriots' Luncheon, a Solider for the Day activity for children, and much more. Join us in 2012 and help us support the Nevada Military Support Alliance.
