As the team closes its preseason and prepares for the regular season, the Raiders are also putting $25 million toward a new pediatric care effort with Intermountain Health.
The Las Vegas Raiders are making a major push off the field as they close out the preseason Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers: the team announced a $25 million gift to Intermountain Health aimed at addressing a long-standing gap in specialized pediatric care in Southern Nevada. For a region that has grown quickly but still lacks some advanced children’s services, the donation stands out as one of the most significant franchise-led health investments in recent memory.
According to the Raiders, the organization and Intermountain Health have worked closely since the team relocated to Las Vegas, but the two sides say this latest effort is their most impactful yet. The announcement frames the gift not just as philanthropy, but as a response to a local need that has touched families across the valley for years.
The timing is notable for residents who follow the team closely. The Raiders are wrapping up their preseason Thursday, with coverage available on TV, radio and livestream, even as the organization uses its platform to spotlight a project with far broader civic implications than football. In a city where major employers and public institutions often shape the region’s future, the move underscores how the Raiders have become part of Las Vegas’ civic infrastructure as much as its sports scene.
For families in the valley, the significance is straightforward: more specialized pediatric care closer to home could mean less travel, less stress and faster access to treatment for children who need it most. The Raiders did not present the gift as a one-off gesture, but as part of a deeper partnership with Intermountain Health that has developed since the team’s arrival in Las Vegas.
The announcement adds another layer to the Raiders’ local footprint as the franchise heads into the regular season. On the field, Thursday’s preseason finale is the immediate focus. Off it, the team is trying to leave a mark that extends well beyond Allegiant Stadium.
