Dollar Loan Center CEO Chuck Brennan Makes Third Annual Commitment� To Henderson Baseball Club

Henderson Little League, the city’s largest youth baseball club, got a boost from Dollar Loan Center for its 2013 season. Chuck Brennan, the company’s CEO, made his third annual contribution to Henderson Little League at its opening ceremonies recently with a check for $10,000 and a commitment to support the organization for the next five years.

“This makes a total of $50,000 Dollar Loan Center has given to Henderson Little League,” said Brennan. “We believe that the league is great for the city of Henderson and families who live here. Henderson Little League is one of the reasons this city is one of the greatest places to live in Nevada and we are proud to be a part of its success.”

Hundreds of players, coaches, parents and volunteers were on hand to celebrate the league’s 2013 season opener, held at Heritage Park. Dollar Loan Center has been a major sponsor of the organization for the past three years and has given a total of $50,000 to provide the league with operating costs including uniforms, park fees, equipment and staffing at games.

“Henderson Little League is an incredible community organization that gives 600 children an opportunity to learn sportsmanship, teamwork, playing fair and of course the great game of baseball,” said Brennan. “I am happy to support such a great organization in our community.”

Henderson Little League was home to Nevada’s District 2 Champions in 2012, and Brennan provided an additional sponsorship to help the team attend the tournament.

Brennan is one of Nevada’s most recognized philanthropists, giving hundreds of thousands every year to organizations in Nevada and throughout the country. This year he is opening the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy which he founded in his hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Dollar Loan Center operates nearly 100 stores in Nevada, California, Utah and South Dakota. In 2012, the company was named a “Best Place To Work” In Southern Nevada by Vegas Inc magazine.  For more information, call 866-550-4352 or visit www.dontbebroke.com.

“I can’t tell you how many times we’ve come in second since the league was founded 25 years ago,” said Robert Nelson, Henderson Little League’s sponsorship coordinator. “This means so much for these kids.”

This year’s donation makes Dollar Loan Center the largest single contributor to Henderson Little League for the second year in a row. In 2011, Brennan committed $10,000 to the league upon hearing that several of its major sponsors had dropped out for economic reasons.

Henderson Little League has dedicated its 25^th season to Cody Clark, 19, a former Henderson Little League player who was diagnosed with bone cancer earlier this year. Clark recently had his leg amputated and is currently undergoing physical therapy. During the opening ceremonies for the 2012 season, Brennan added to his commitment with an additional $5,000 donation to Clark’s family for help with medical expenses.

Clark has been an inspiration to all the children who play in the league this year, according to Nelson. “We tell the kids to go out there every game and make the most of it because you never know what the future may hold,” he said.

If Henderson Little League wins the Nevada State Little League championship, the team will travel to San Bernardino, Calif. in early August for the Western District tournament. Western District champions will play in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, VA in late August.

Dollar Loan Center CEO Chuck Brennan is one of Nevada’s most recognized philanthropists, giving more than $500,000 annually to charities across the country.

Brennan owns and operates 56 Dollar Loan Center locations throughout California, Southern Nevada, South Dakota, and Utah.  This year, the company was named a “Best Place To Work” In Southern Nevada by Vegas Inc magazine. In 2007, Entrepreneur Magazine listed the company among its “Hot 500” Fastest Growing Businesses and Entrepreneurs.” For more information, visit www.dontbebroke.com.

Dollar Loan Center CEO, Chuck Brennan hit one out of the park last night for the Henderson Little League organization. For the second year in a row, Dollar Loan Center was the single largest contributor to the Henderson Little League, allowing it to enter into it’s 25th season when it was near bankrupt just a few years back.

Mr. Brennan was scheduled to donate $10,000 to the organization but surprised everyone when he raised that amount to $25,000 in honor of their 25th anniversary.

But it didn’t stop there. He continued to add $500 to a 50/50 fundraiser raffle and then donated $5000 to a family who has a child that has been active in Henderson Little League sports for years and is now battling cancer.
