Program History
Through the Community Partners Fundraising Program, the Reno Aces and Greater Nevada team up with local nonprofits, schools, youth sports leagues, and religious centers to raise funds for their cause. Organizations sell Aces tickets and keep a portion of the proceeds. Greater Nevada Credit Union (GNCU) includes bonus donations when groups hit ticket milestones.
The GNCU Partners Fundraising Program has been a staple of the Reno Aces Baseball Club’s community efforts for the past six seasons. The program has benefited thousands throughout Northern Nevada over the years. With nearly 100 organizations participating in 2022, GNCU has been a driving force behind donation growth as over $83,000 was donated to charity throughout the 2022 season. Beneficiaries have included non-profit organizations, local schools, youth sports leagues, and religious centers.
Since the program’s inception in 2016, over $414,420 have been raised to help benefit local non-profit organizations. While it is certainly a great benefit to the community, the participating Community Partners Fundraisers also enjoy great perks. All participants of the program are invited to attend the annual GNCU Partners Fundraiser Luncheon. Additionally, top fundraisers are eligible to win exciting prizes including advertising your business/organization on the concourse during an Aces’ game, check presentation on field, ceremonial first pitch opportunities, autographed team memorabilia, and much more!
With over 450 organizations having participated since the program’s launch, today is a great day for you and your organization to get involved.
