About Scleroderma Sprint 

The Scleroderma Sprint is the next step in the evolution of a highly regarded event series led by the Kellner Family that raised over $1,400,000 for Scleroderma research in Las Vegas alone. Those events, hosted at the House of Blues 2014, and Brooklyn Bowl in 2016, quickly became some of the most talked-about philanthropic events of the year. The Scleroderma Sprint is expected to raise the bar again with the most impressive charitable event ever seen in Las Vegas. Hosted by actor and comedian Bill Bellamy, the evening gala will feature a cuisine curated by celebrity chefs including Emril Lagasse, a live auction, and six performances by Spiegelworld, Las Vegas's premier entertainment company that owns the Absinthe, Opium, and Atomic Saloon shows.
