A La Carte
Thirteen local restaurants are scheduled to participate in the Building Champions Against the Odds Campaign to benefit the Nevada Children's Center on Wednesday, International Children's Day.

On Wednesday, participating restaurants have pledged to donate between 10 and 20 percent of their revenue to the center. Restaurants scheduled to take part include Sammy's Woodfired Pizza at 7345 Arroyo Crossing Parkway, 6500 W. Sahara Ave. and 9516 W. Flamingo Road.
Diners are asked to bring a flier that can be downloaded at nccenter.org.
