Three individuals and organizations will receive Silver State Awards this year in recognition of their efforts on behalf of Nevadans in fighting crime, Attorney General Brian Sandoval said.

Award winners are Harrah's Senior Coalition; Adrienne Angelini, victim advocate for Reno Police; and Christy Sanchez, a clerk at Lunt Elementary School in Las Vegas.

Harrah's Senior Coalition is being honored for its support of seniors through "Make a Difference Day" and a $1 million commitment over the next three years to Meals on Wheels, which delivers hot food to those seniors who cannot leave their homes.

Sanchez, who will receive her award on Friday at the Suncoast, is being recognized for her judgment and swift action that led to the recovery of a missing child.

Angelini is being honored for her compassion and dedication to families victimized by crimes.
