Some Of The Destruction Left Behind From Hurricane Sandy

LAS VEGAS — Donna Cutler sponsored by Las Vegas Fruits & Nuts will represent Las Vegas and Nevada with Tourism Cares, Inc.’s Coney Island volunteer restoration project on May 30 and 31 in New York. She will be joining volunteers from all over the country and around the world to give back to Coney Island and the shoreline at Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn and Queens.

“I’m excited about joining other volunteers to help restore an area as important as Coney Island,” said Cutler, Manager of Las Vegas Fruits & Nuts new retail store at McCarran Marketplace on Eastern Avenue, which is the company’s first location outside of the McCarran International Airport terminals. “To help in any way will be rewarding.” Cutler knows firsthand since she participated in the Tourism Cares project in Virginia City, Nev., a few years ago that the Nevada Commission of Tourism sponsored.

Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, much work still needs to be done along Coney Island’s famous beach and boardwalk. Volunteers will participate in dune’s preservation and beach clean-up projects along Fort Tilden Beach. As a part of this program, special grants will also be awarded to selected tourism related sites that have suffered losses attributed to Hurricane Sandy.

This Tourism Cares for New York City project marks the 10th anniversary of the Tourism Cares for America program, which from its inception at Ellis Island in 2003, has brought together more than 3,500 travel and tourism professionals to volunteer and give back to sites across America.

“We bring the tourism community together to volunteer and help clean up and restore important historic sites that are in need of care and rejuvenation,” said Bruce Beckham, Executive Director Tourism Cares.

Background on Tourism Cares

Tourism Cares was formed in 2005 by the merger of the National Tourism Foundation, founded by the National Tour Association in 1982, and the Travelers Conservation Foundation, founded in 1999 by the United States Tour Operators Association. Tourism Cares, Inc. is an independent nonprofit organization, which serves as a travel and tourism industry-wide institution giving back through scholarships and other programs for tourism students, grants to cultural sites worldwide and volunteer restoration events to give back to sites in need of care and rejuvenation.
