Las Vegas shooting vigils and benefits have been held across the Santa Clarita Valley since the tragedy on October 1 that killed 58 people, including one Santa Clarita resident. The latest fundraising effort to be announced is to be held at Route 66 Classic Grill on October 28 from noon to 4 p.m.

“By my personal count, I think there were at least 500 Santa Clarita residents that were at (the shooting), and even more people in Santa Clarita know somebody that was there,” said Owner George Thomas. “We’d like to show our support for all the Santa Clarita people that were there or were affected by it.”

Event organizers have planned for community leaders to speak, silent auctions and “Las Vegas Strong” merchandise to be sold, along with a flyover from the Condor Squadron out of Van Nuys Airport, according to Thomas.

“We’ll also be having a 58-second moment of silence for the 58 victims killed during the shooting,” said Thomas. “100 percent of the proceeds from the silent auction and ‘Vegas Strong’ merchandise will be given to the Santa Clarita Coalition, and they’ll distribute the money to Santa Clarita victims.”

During the event, organizers have also planned to feature local band, “Rebel Heart,” to play a 45-minute set, according to Thomas.

Sponsors for the benefit include KHTS AM-1220, Santa Clarita Coalition, 24/7 Events and Feathers.

Along with the Route 66 benefit, other Santa Clarita events have occurred in support of Las Vegas shooting victims.

A vigil was held last Wednesday in Marketplace Park, drawing thousands of Santa Clarita residents to come and support victims of the shooting and hear testimonies from those that were there.
