Nevada Week | Help and hope for young cancer patients, senior performers  

SEASON 6: EPISODE 12 | Airdate: 9/29/2023  

Maria Silva shows us Camp Cartwheel at Torino Ranch, organized by Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. It’s an opportunity for kids battling cancer to spend quality time with their siblings in a fun outdoor setting. Then we meet the BurlyCares team, a group assisting senior variety and burlesque performers. Senior stage artists often have different needs, we explore those and the help available.
