VIRGINIA CITY, NV — The Virginia City 601 Vigilance Committee announced today a $2,000 total donation to Community Chest Inc., made possible through a matching contribution in partnership with Bond Arms of Granbury, Texas.
Bond Arms helped the 601 raise $1,000 through the auction of discounted Bond Arms firearms. In response, the 601 Vigilance Committee matched the donation dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact for Community Chest Inc.
Community Chest Victim Advocates are trained professionals who assist victims of crime by providing emotional support, guidance, and assistance connecting individuals with available community resources during times of crisis. The donation directly supports these essential advocacy services within the Comstock region.
“The 601 is committed to improving the lives of those in need in our community,” said Lee Nashold, Executive Director of the Virginia City 601 Vigilance Committee. “By matching this donation, we were able to double the impact and support an organization doing vital work for victims of crime.”
The Virginia City 601 Vigilance Committee is a community service organization dedicated to promoting Virginia City tourism while preserving Comstock heritage. Its mission includes supporting veterans, preserving cowboy traditions, promoting gun safety education, and advancing the arts through grants, donations, scholarships, and restoration projects throughout the Comstock region.
Since 2014, the 601 has donated more than $50,000 toward preserving Comstock traditions, supporting the arts for children, assisting veterans, and restoring historic sites across the region. These efforts are funded through community-supported fundraising events hosted by the organization.
Special thanks to OTS Printing, which designed and printed the ceremonial promotional check featured in the donation photo.
