Franki e Moreno
Singer, Songwriter, Musician, and Showman… Frankie Moreno is entertaining audiences from coast to coast with his own brand of genre-blurring Rock ‘n Roll. Reaching millions of record sales worldwide, Frankie continues to write and release new music consistently. Since April of 2020 alone, Frankie reached the #1 spot on the iTunes charts a record-setting 67 times with new
singles, and in 2019, made music history by becoming the only Artist with 6 albums to reach a Top-10 spot on the Billboard charts in a 12 - month period. As a child prodigy on the piano and a gifted multi-instrumentalist, Frankie was first introduced to audiences at the age of 10 on CBS’ Star Search. His performance on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars again brought him into America’s living rooms with his self-penned hit Tangerine Honey. He has continued to perform sold-out shows from Carnegie Hall to The Kennedy Center, and The Hollywood Bowl to Las Vegas residencies. Frankie’s collaboration with world-renowned violinist Joshua Bell produced At Home with Friends for Sony Records, reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard charts . The album included Sting, Josh Groban, Chris Botti, Kristin Chenoweth, and Regina Spektor. Frankie and Josh have since released Musical Gifts, which reached the #8 Billboard spot and featured Placido Domingo, Gloria Estefan, Allison Krauss, and Chick Corea. As a touring Artist, Frankie has traveled internationally with Sugarland, Billy Currington, and wrote Air Supply’s #8 Billboard Top-40 hit Dance With Me while touring as their Musical Director. In 2018, Frankie created a Symphony concert where he has performed his original music with the nation’s premier orchestras. Frankie Moreno commands audiences around the world with his highly contagious music and playful stage antics. His songs are cleverly crafted and his musicianship is virtuoso. He is unquestionably a unique Artist and all-around talent who puts his heart and soul into his music. www.frankiemoreno.com
Bonnie Schreck
Bonnie Schreck was an amazing wife and mother, a powerful businesswoman, and a noble advocate for various charities in this great city she called home. While she loved her career as an entertainment director at various venues throughout Las Vegas, at the age of 36, she discovered a new joy in her first child, Derek. Three years later, her precious daughter Sydney completed the family for Bonnie and her husband Frank.
In the late 1990’s, Bonnie was diagnosed with cancer. Despite the doctor’s prognosis of a six-month life expectancy, her philosophy of “fight to live” overshadowed her illness, allowing her 18 months of quality time with her family and friends. Bonnie is remembered as a passionate woman with a strong desire to help those in need. Her legacy will forever shine through the Bonnie Schreck Memorial Complementary Therapies Program at Nathan Adelson Hospice. Bonnie Schreck Complementary Therapies Program As a tribute to his wife, in 1999, Frank established Complementary Therapies with the belief that there are interventions that complement traditional medical treatments. Therapists focus on resolving feelings of sadness, fear and anxiety and aid physicians and nurses in relieving pain symptoms. Research studies have documented that complementary therapies reduce stress and anxiety, decrease depression and help lessen physical discomfort. Our program is customized to ease the emotional, mental and physical discomfort experienced by our patients. Our staff is comprised of certified practitioners and licensed therapists that offer emotional, mental and physical support. The Complementary Therapies offered include aromatherapy, pet therapy, reflexology, art and music therapy, massage therapy and Reiki. Nathan Adelson Hospice is grateful to Frank Schreck for his continued generous support of the program and for his service as a member of the Board of Trustees for Nathan Adelson Hospice.

Nathan Adelson
About Nathan Adelson Born in Omaha, Nebraska and raised in Los Angeles, California, Nathan Adelson was the first administrator for Sunrise Hospital. Always looking for a better way, he insisted on only the most sophisticated equipment and encouraged doctors to employ the latest techniques. His drive to always provide the best patient care elevated Sunrise Hospital far beyond national hospital standards.
After cancer took Nathan in 1978, Irwin and Susan Molasky, and Nathan's son , Merv Adelson along with many friends wanted Nathan Adelson’s vision and memory to live on. They established a hospice which, like Nathan Adelson himself, is dedicated to maintaining patient dignity, easing suffering and improving the quality of life for each person. Today, Nathan Adelson Hospice stands as a most fitting tribute to a very special man. Nathan Adelson Hospice is a premier hospice care provider in Nevada. With its affiliated organizations, the Center for Compassionate Care and Nathan Adelson Hospice Foundation, the Hospice is proud to be the largest non-profit hospice dedicated to ensuring all residents have access to quality end-of- life care regardless of their ability to pay. It is our belief that no one should end the journey of life alone, afraid or in pain. Your financial support allows us to carry out our vision.
