The Thread: The Fabric of Las Vegas

A Collaboration Between Mayor Shelley Berkley, the City of Las Vegas & Cindy Coleman, M.Ed and Steven Spann.

Stitched by Students. Backed by Businesses.

The Fabric of Las Vegas is a bold partnership that transforms recycled materials from local businesses into a custom couture coat for the Mayor — designed and created by middle and high school students in a seven-week after-school program.

This initiative unites businesses, schools, nonprofits, and city leaders to prepare our next generation for success while celebrating the creativity, diversity, and innovation that define Las Vegas.

Under the combined vision of Mayor Shelley Berkley, whose initiatives champion sustainability, workforce readiness, and community engagement, and leadership of founders Cindy Coleman, M.Ed., an award-winning teacher turned social entrepreneur, and Steve Spann, a post-consumption artist and owner of The Doyle, The Fabric of Las Vegas sets a new standard for how education and art can transform lives.

ABOUT WITHOUT LIMITS

Without Limits is a proud and dynamic non-profit organization with deep roots in Las Vegas, NV, and a national vision to revolutionize how young people live and learn. Founded by an award-winning teacher turned social entrepreneur, Without Limits operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the esteemed Edward Charles Foundation. Our mission is clear: to empower youth in underserved communities by providing innovative, high-quality education that fosters a lifelong pursuit of excellence.

At Without Limits, we believe that the health of an educational system is a direct reflection of the economic and cultural vitality of the community it serves. Regardless of socioeconomic background, education is the most powerful tool to spark systemic change. We’ve built our programs on the principle that education must be a collective, community-driven effort, and by aligning education with entrepreneurship and economic development, we unlock the potential for profound transformation.

Our mission is to level the playing field for all children, dismantling barriers to education that have long existed for those in underserved communities. Every child deserves access to a modern education that prepares them to compete in the global economy. The digital divide continues to widen the gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots," but we refuse to let circumstance dictate opportunity. Without Limits strives to eradicate these disparities, replacing limits with possibilities.

We are not here to maintain the status quo—we are here to disrupt it. The current system, where quality education is often reserved for the wealthy, has failed too many. Without Limits exists to shatter these boundaries, creating new pathways for success for all children, regardless of their background.
