HSI

To all who wore the uniform. HSI is closed today in observance of Veterans Day. We will resume normal business hours on Wednesday, November 12. We wish you all a pleasant and peaceful holiday.

Happy Halloween! We have a SCARY apparition with us today! Like something right out of Ghostbusters! Actually it's a little toy ghost, about an inch high. No Photoshop, just a flashlight and an iPhone lens, unretouched straight out of the camera! Costume contest pics to follow in a bit! (Photo: Stephanie Fairburn)

All of us at HSI were sad to hear about the unexpected passing of long-time Nevada sportscaster and Nevada Sportscaster Hall of Fame reporter Bryan Samudio. Bryan was one of our supporters and graciously lent us his sportscasting expertise and gregarious MC talent to several of our X-treme Ability Challenge fundraising events. We will miss him and extend our condolences to his family, friends, his Nevada Sports Net and KRNV News 4 colleagues, and all who knew and loved him. Photos: Gwinn Nelson and Lisa Blauth

Come out and get dirty with us! That's right, once again HSI is pleased to support our friends at Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation and their 2025 Dozers and Dirt event, September 20, from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Rilite Aggregate Pit, 9208 Western Skies Drive in Reno.
Join us and get dirty digging in your shovels to support local children battling cancer. Kids 17 and younger get to operate more than 35 pieces of heavy construction equipment (under professional supervision, of course), experience up-close displays of the RAVEN helicopter, a bomb unit, police cars, fire trucks, and more.
NNCCF is always pulling out all the stops to support Northern Nevada children and we are excited about this partnership. All proceeds benefit the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation.
In this event, only the kids need tickets, the adults get in free! Get your tickets and/or become a sponsor by visiting https://www.nvchildrenscancer.org/dozers-dirt/!
Getting dirty has never been more fun! Hope to see you there!

We were thrilled to host a delegation of education and related professionals from Iraq to discuss Disability Legislation in Practice and introduce them to our genArete learning system. Insights and information were exchanged in a very productive three-hour meeting. The group began their US tour in mid-March and are set to return home on April 5. Thanks to our colleagues at the Northern Nevada International Center, who facilitated the Reno portion of their tour via the U.S. Department of State.
