Real Estate News:Las Vegas, NV, October 02, 2024 — A unique partnership between the worlds of real estate, sports, and philanthropy is taking shape in the fight against cancer. Hall of Fame Basketball Coach, Lon Kruger, and Mark Wiley, a Las Vegas community leader and representative for Keller Williams Sports + Entertainment (KWSE), have joined forces with the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches to support the Coaches vs Cancer program.

This collaboration brings together the expertise and networks of real estate professionals, coaches, and cancer researchers to make a significant impact in the fight against cancer.

Bringing KWSE into our lineup is a game-changer. Their nationwide network and community connections will help us reach more people, raise more funds, and ultimately, save more lives. This partnership is a slam dunk for our cause.”
