ABOUT US
HONORING HEROES, CELEBRATING COMMUNITY
The Douglas County Community Foundation (DCCF) is excited to announce its second annual 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.
DCCF exists to inspire generosity, establish and manage charitable funds, and provide resources to enrich our shared lives and legacy in Douglas County. This event raises funds that benefit the DCCF Community Emergency Relief Fund. These funds will provide direct assistance to 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.
