The Raiders and UNLV joined forces to organize the Raiders, UNLV, Sport, and Health (RUSH) program, an interactive one-day event designed to introduce 200 sixth- through eighth-grade girls to flag football, inspire their pursuit of sports in high school, and tackle mental health and nutrition concerns. Recognizing the proven benefits of sports participation on women's health, the RUSH program nurtures essential life skills such as teamwork and leadership, promoting a more positive body image and bolstered self-esteem among the participating girls.
