Bruno Mars announces a $1 million gift to the forthcoming Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital on April 10, Bruno Mars Day, in Las Vegas.

On April 10, officially recognized as Bruno Mars Day in Las Vegas, Bruno Mars announced a $1 million gift to Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital during a live event at Toshiba Plaza. The news came amid a citywide celebration honoring Bruno Mars Day and the artist’s contributions to the community.

The day also coincided with the start of his Romantic Tour, which kicked off at Allegiant Stadium. Further, the festivities included MGM Resorts International naming a Las Vegas street in his honor.

“Today, I’m going to donate $1 million to the future Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital,” said Bruno Mars.

“This gift is pure Bruno—bold, joyful, and deeply rooted in the community,” said David Flood, president of Intermountain Foundation and chief development officer at Intermountain Health. “Bruno Mars doesn’t just perform in Las Vegas; he invests in its future. Because of his generosity, more kids will receive the care they need regardless of complexity, and the health trajectory of the entire region will be enhanced. This serves as a spark—one that we believe will ignite even more momentum and generosity for this historic campaign.”

Intermountain Health will build the children’s hospital at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Harry Reid Research and Technology Park, in southwest Las Vegas. The facility is expected to open in 2030.

Intermountain Health said it remains committed to funding two-thirds of the $1 billion-plus project needed to complete the comprehensive vision for Nevada Children’s Health, including the standalone children’s hospital.

The nonprofit system has commissioned Intermountain Foundation to generate the remaining funding through philanthropic support. The leadership framework of the campaign is still in the works, and promises “an opportunity for individuals and organizations at all levels to become a part of this historic endeavor.”

Intermountain Health operates medical facilities in Nevada and five other states, comprising 34 hospitals, around 400 clinics, a medical group with approximately 4,600 employed physicians and care providers, and other health services.
