“Team LVSA” at the Red Rock 2025 Climb for Hope

Climb for Hope

Las Vegas, NV. March 23, 2025—The 13th annual “Climb for Hope” helped raise funds and awareness of the fight against cancer. Members of “Team LVSA” were once again led by Ms. Michelle Wilkos, Spa Director at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. The hikers gathered with friends, family, and pets at the Red Rock Resort before hiking Red Rock Canyon.

The Climb again featured a team of spa and vendor members, friends, family and more than a few dogs.  The LVSA collected over $3000 in donations to the City of Hope National Medical Center.  Former City of Hope patient and LVSA President Michael Garvey stated, “The weather, the people, and party were all perfect!” What a day!”

The post-hike party was highlighted by a raffle drawing hosted by Board Chair Jennifer Lynn. The raffle featured selected products provided by LVSA vendors and a stuffed sheepdog. Ray Chodorowski drank nine Dr. Peppers.
