Opportunity Village is proud to announce Raiders president Marc Badain is the newest member of the organization’s Foundation Board, which aims to serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Southern Nevada.
“It is a pleasure and honor to welcome Marc Badain, President of the Las Vegas Raiders, as the newest member of the Opportunity Village Foundation Board. The Raiders organization has a long history of community involvement and we look forward to Mr. Badain’s input and support as we team up to serve the needs of Opportunity Village clients and their families,” said Tom Thomas, long-standing member of the Opportunity Village Foundation Board of Directors.
Badain, who was instrumental in securing the Raiders’ new stadium in Las Vegas, was elected to the 24-person board in January. He, along with Raiders owner Mark Davis, previously attended Opportunity Village’s annual black-tie gala – Camelot – in November.
