The Nevada Commission for National and Community Service received $12,000 Tuesday from the Tiger Woods Foundation.

The Nevada community group works with AmeriCorps members in encouraging youths to volunteer their time to disadvantaged students with literacy problems.

Proceeds were raised at a benefit concert last fall, Tiger Jam III, which featured music artists LeAnne Rimes, Christina Aguilera and SEAL.

This year's Tiger Jam IV will feature Third Eye Blind and John Mellencamp at 8:30 p.m. April 28 in Mandalay Bay's Events Center.

For more information on the commission, call (775) 423-1461. For information on Tiger Jam IV, call the Tiger Woods Foundation, (714) 814-1806 or Ticketmaster, (702) 474-4000.
