Celebrating Over 75 Years of Serving Nevada’s Legal, Business, Government, and Civic Communities

Sponsoring the Nevada Military Support Alliance

McDonald Carano proudly serves as a 4-Star Sponsor of the 13th annual Nevada Military Support Alliance Golf Classic fundraising gala on September 8. Held at LakeRidge Golf Course, the event includes golf, dinner, live entertainment, a silent auction, and a fireworks and drone display to honor Nevada’s brave heroes who have sacrificed so much for our state, country, and freedom.

Since its founding 20 years ago by her late husband Jerry Bussell who retired as a full Colonel in the Nevada Army National Guard, McDonald Carano Partner Pat Lundvall has continued to serve in numerous volunteer leadership roles at NMSA, including currently serving as a Vice President of the organization. McDonald Carano greatly appreciates Pat Lundvall and so many of our attorneys and professional staff who dedicate time, energy, and funds to support NMSA every year.

The Nevada Military Support Alliance has raised nearly $11 million to help Nevada’s military service men and women, veterans, and their families. Jerry Bussell, Perry M. Di Loreto and Joe W. Brown established the Nevada Patriot Fund in 2003 as a source of financial assistance for the families of Nevada soldiers killed in the line of duty. The Fund is a tax-exempt organization now administrated as the Nevada Military Support Alliance. NMSA initially served as a fund that would pay an immediate death benefit to the families of every Nevada soldier who lost his or her life in military service to our Nation because sometimes there was a delay from the military in the provision of death benefits, but families of the fallen soldier still had mouths to feed, house payments to make, medicines to purchase, etc. As the needs of Nevada’s military families have changed over time, so too has NMSA to meet those needs. In 2010 the mission was expanded to not only continue providing death benefits but to also assist those returning home from the battlefield with catastrophic injuries.  

  • To honor, recognize and appreciate Nevada’s military men and women, veterans, and their families.
  • To express gratitude for courageously and selflessly defending the freedoms that we enjoy every day.
  • To provide support and assistance for the challenges and sacrifices that are made on our behalf.
