Golden Knights hockey, dinner and helping animals make a pretty good opening-night combination. On September 29, the Jack of Hearts Foundation is bringing its Opening Knight fundraiser to Lazy Dog Restaurant in Downtown Summerlin, giving fans a way to cheer on the Knights while supporting animal rescue.

 

Bring the event flyer when you dine in, or use code **SUMMERLIN01** when ordering takeout, and 15% of your total bill will be donated to the Jack of Hearts Foundation.

 

## Dinner Before The Puck Drops

 

The fundraiser runs throughout the day, so hockey fans don’t have to arrive at a specific time to participate. The Jack of Hearts team will be at Lazy Dog starting at 7 p.m., ahead of the 7:30 p.m. puck drop.

 

Grab dinner or drinks, settle in for opening night and let a portion of the bill do a little extra work for animals. It’s an easy way to turn something you were already planning to do — watch the Knights and grab a meal — into support for a local rescue organization.

 

## From One Rescue To A Foundation

 

The Jack of Hearts Foundation grew from a New Year’s Eve rescue that became the starting point for a larger effort to help animals. DFLV previously spoke with the foundation about the experience that sparked its creation and the work that followed.
