KTNV Las Vegas Is Looking For Local Heroes

KTNV, Scripps’ ABC affiliate in Las Vegas, is encouraging the community to come together and nominate 13 individuals and/or organizations who need a miracle.

“We encourage our community to share stories of people or organizations in our community that have a critical need in the areas of homelessness, health care, hunger, education, military, first responder or youth sports,” said Chris Way, KNTV’s general manager.

The 13 Days and Knights of Giving, now in its second year, is a partnership between KTNV and the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights. The campaign is encouraging Southern Nevadans to go online at ktnv.com/13days and complete the online entry informational form.

From the hundreds of nominations, a team of judges will choose the 13 most compelling stories and that’s when the magic happens. The Vegas Golden Knights and The Vegas Golden Knights Foundation put together miraculous gifts that transform lives.

KTNV will share these stories for 13 consecutive days over the holiday season and bring the recipients together for a culminating event to show these individuals; who have often been struggling financially, physically or emotionally, how deeply they are cared about by their community and celebrate the power of this shared mission.

Here’s an example of one story from 2018’s campaign:

The Networks of Mid-Missouri is seeking a highly motivated, competitive professional to lead its KQFX (FOX) and NMIZ (MyNetwork) team as Local Sales Manager. The station is owned by News Press & Gazette out of St. Joseph, Missouri, a family owned business.
