The Vegas Golden Knights have announced the recipients of their Heart Of Gold Community Three Stars Of The Week initiative for this week. This program recognizes extraordinary individuals throughout Nevada who are finding ways to make a difference during the COVID-19 health crisis.

Every week, community members can click here to nominate someone they know who is making a difference in the community. Nominations for the week will be accepted until that Thursday at 10 a.m. A panel of judges from the Vegas Golden Knights will review all submissions and the three outstanding Nevadans will be recognized on Fridays through the team's social platforms. Individuals nominated must live in Nevada.
