The Las Vegas Raiders welcome local community organizations to spectate the Silver and Black during training camp.

A tradition that hosted the youth, military, first responders, and community groups was first established during training camp in Napa, Cal. in 1996.

And now for the second straight year in their new home of Las Vegas, the Raiders will be able continue to carry on the tradition of welcoming local guests to see the team practice prior to the regular season.

On Monday, the Raiders are inviting over 1,300 guests from select Las Vegas community organizations to the team's practice facility, the Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center in Henderson and watch the Raiders practice during training camp.

Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders and USAA hosted over 100 local active-duty airmen from Nellis and Creech Air Force Bases at Raiders Training Camp, where they also watched the team practice at Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center.

Following the practice session, the military guests traveled to Allegiant Stadium, where they participated in a Salute to Service Boot Camp.

The service members performed in NFL combine-like drills such as the 40-yard dash, and QB arm-throw drills.

At the end of the camp, one lucky group of airmen won tickets to the Salute to Service Raiders game in November.
