KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather, Video - Think Kindness Starts Fund for Air Races Victims

From Think Kindness:

Think Kindness, a local non-profit who seeks to encourage thousands across the country to inspire others through random acts of kindness, has started a fund for the victims and family members affected by the tragic accident at Reno's National Championship Air Races. All proceeds from the Think Kindness Family Assistance Fund will go directly to supporting victims of the accident and their families.  

"This community has had an inspiring response to the accident at the Reno Air Races last Friday and Think Kindness wanted to provide an avenue to help further those compassionate acts," said Brian Williams, founder of Think Kindness. "We have already reached out to several local organizations to establish a Family Assistance Fund that will allow everyone in the northern Nevada community and around the world to show their support and help those affected by this terrible tragedy." 

To make a contribution to the Think Kindness Family Assistance Fund, visit any local Wells Fargo bank and reference routing number 582500507 and account number 3854301920. Donations can also be mailed to Think Kindness at 522 Lander Street, Reno, NV 89509 or made online at thinkkindness.org. All of the proceeds will support those who are in need of financial assistance for clothing, food and support services. All donations are eligible for a tax deduction.

Think Kindness is in the process of establishing a committee who will oversee the distribution of funds. Community members who are interested in serving on the committee, can inquire by calling 775.636.8026. 

The local community has also offered a variety of support services to all community members personally affected by this event. Community members are encouraged to call 211 or the Victim's Assistance Line at 775-337-5800.
