City, NV –
Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced he will attend Thursday’s
golf tournament fundraiser hosted by advocacy group Supporting Our Survivors to
raise money for victims and survivors of sex trafficking. The event will be
held at Lakeridge Gold Course in Reno.
“I
want to thank everyone for their work in putting together this special event,” said
AG Ford. “It’s an example of how Nevadans care for their neighbors and work
together to ensure victims and survivors get the support they need.”
All
