Incline toddler, agency to receive $500 from Hyatt

Incline Village resident Lexie Mae Hidalgo and The Children’s Cabinet will split $1,000 donated by Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe in Incline Village.

Hyatt’s staff and community members will gather in front of Cutthroat’s Saloon for a special celebration April 15 as General Manager Mark Pardue and Director of Food & Beverage David Lockard give Lexie May, 2,, and the Incline Village nonprofit their checks.

A tradition since opening in 2000, local residents and resort guests continue to decorate the walls of Cutthroat’s Saloon with embellished dollar bills, with 1,000 bills collected since early 2009.

Lexie Mae has Coats’ Disease, a rare condition causing abnormal development in the blood vessels behind the retina.

The Children’s Cabinet offers services and resources to address unmet needs of children and families in need in the region.
