Reno, Nev. – The Hot August Nights Foundation, the non-profit arm of Hot August Nights, kicks off its annual winter coat drive to support in-need and at-risk youth in the Reno-Sparks community.

“The Hot August Nights Foundation is committed to supporting children and youth in our community year-round,” said Linda Lott, Hot August Nights Foundation President. “Our annual coat drive remains one of our longest-running programs because something as simple as a coat can make a profound difference.
