ABOUT US
HONORING HEROES, CELEBRATING COMMUNITY
The Douglas County Community Foundation is excited to announce our inaugural Heroes Gala. This unforgettable night of inspiration and celebration will raise awareness and support and say Thank You to our Douglas County first responders, Armed Forces members, veterans, and our nonprofit partner organizations that support these brave heroes.
Proceeds from this event will support our Community Emergency Relief fund. These funds directly assist our community, nonprofit partners, and first responders during catastrophic events affecting Douglas County residents and ensure that emergency relief funds can be quickly accessed and distributed to those in Douglas County who need it most when they need it most.
Through your commitment to support this event, you will help ensure a safe and thriving Douglas County community for years to come. We look forward to celebrating with you!
