BACKGROUND
When Father Edward J. Flanagan purchased the Overlook Farm in 1921, it became the new, permanent site of Boys Town. Over the decades that followed, schools, churches, and homes were built, and tens of thousands of young lives have been transformed. At Boys Town, it is believed that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. Today, Boys Town has multiple successful programs from in-home services to school services and residential care, recognizing that every child is an individual with unique needs. The care provided is effective because it is driven by the belief that every child and family have the potential to succeed. When Boys Town saves a child, the positive effects make society a better place for all.

BACKGROUND
Child care providers and working families in Nebraska need and deserve support to ensure continued growth for themselves and better outcomes for the children in their care. NECC, in a bold and creative way, leads the fi eld in its approach to community support, business resources, and educator training. Together with providers and families, NECC elevates early learning across Nebraska. Programs including NECC’s Licensing Toolkit, Business Training Series, and a nationally recognized CDA course off er ample opportunities for providers to advance their careers at no cost. In 2021, NECC introduced a new, innovative Early Learning Scholarship (ELS) program that provides child care business owners with funds to off set the cost of early learning and care for working families in Omaha.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
By contributing to NECC’s ELS program, you’re supporting the sustainability of essential child care businesses and helping more families access their care. Child care businesses, a critical piece of the workforce puzzle, were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and are struggling to stay afloat, with profit margins averaging just 1%. With the average annual cost over $10,000 per child and the cutoff for state subsidy program assistance at $51,337 for a family of four (185% of the Federal Poverty Level), for many Nebraska families, it just doesn’t add up. The ELS program currently connects over 100 children to quality care providers, and with your support, is poised for exponential growth this year.

BACKGROUND
For years, South has been training young artists who share a passion for creating. Whether it’s choreographing a new piece, discovering the fl uidity of watercolor, or interpreting a Broadway ballad, the students relish the challenge.
South’s commitment to the visual and performing arts has led to performances and partnerships with a number of arts organizations and performing groups, allowing students to explore the variety of careers available in the arts while developing their craft and honing their skills with exemplary professionals. This summer, South partnered with UNO in the development of the Summer Musical Theatre Academy and a production of “Fame” which [was] featured on July 3rd as part of the opening weekend gala of the new Eugene Leahy Amphitheater.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
These opportunities have fostered enormous growth in South’s programs, and as a result, space has become limited! It is presently impossible to provide opportunities for the number of students wishing to participate in our programs.
Thanks to the leadership of Thompson H. Rogers and Michael Yanney, South has embarked on a capital campaign to raise $30 million for a new arts center, which will allow for the continued growth of the organization’s exceptional programs in both visual and performing arts.

BACKGROUND
Many faces. One name. Parkinson’s Nebraska is all things Parkinson’s disease for people in the state of Nebraska and surrounding areas. A group of individuals brought together by Parkinson’s disease, their time and talent is used to help bring education, expertise, classes, support, and a host of other resources together in a single location: Parkinson’s Nebraska.
Parkinson’s Nebraska rises to help when someone in Nebraska is diagnosed. Colleen Weubben, the founder, was diagnosed very early and decided Nebraska needed an organization that people with Parkinson’s could reach out to. As Parkinson’s Nebraska continues to collaborate and educate, the community of Nebraska can lean on the services, professionals, and resources the organization provides, knowing that Parkinson’s Nebraska is here to support and care.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
By donating to Parkinson’s Nebraska, supporters help to ensure that those diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and the many day-to-day challenges it brings, are able to seek and discover education, specialized expertise, and the support of a local, understanding community. Every cent counts, and by the generosity of the Omaha metro, those in the community won’t simply need to live with Parkinson’s—they’re given the opportunity, network, and resources to live well with Parkinson’s.

BACKGROUND
LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS. P4K was born from the merger of two youth-serving organizations guided by similar principles but serving age groups at opposite ends of the spectrum. All Our Kids was established in 1989 by Dr. Gail and Mr. Mike Yanney and served middle, high school, and college students. Winners Circle was established in 1996 by Cookie and Jerry Hoberman and served elementary school students. Both programs shared the support of local philanthropists, Mary, and Dick, Holland. The Hollands envisioned the creation of a single organization that provided a pathway of education and support for early learners through postsecondary pursuits. In 2007 the Hollands’ vision became a reality when the two programs offi cially became Partnership 4 Kids.

BACKGROUND
RISE is the largest nonprofi t organization in Nebraska focused solely on habilitative programming in prisons and reentry support. At RISE, transformation starts pre-release and continues post-release. Our inside/out model bridges incarceration to the community and considers all the critical steps in that journey.
We prepare and train people for each phase through intensive character development, employment readiness, job creation through entrepreneurship, family programming and case management. We transform people in the community by building awareness and empathy that leads to support and opportunity. These connections heal families, create employment pathways and lower recidivism.
Freedom from cycles of incarceration means people are building wealth for their families, parenting their children and making positive contributions to the community.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
At RISE, transformation starts pre-release and continues post-release. Supporters can help in a multitude of ways, from simply using humanizing language when speaking about people impacted by incarceration, to volunteering online or in person (when available) for a RISE In Prison Program milestone event.

Additional support for RISE is greatly appreciated through donations, which are used where needed most and provide the fi nancial foundation for all the work we do to serve our mission: to break the generational cycles of incarceration.

BACKGROUND
With a focus on growing food, minds and communities, Whispering Roots was created to address the health, education, and economic disparities experienced by children and adults living in poverty. The Whispering Roots approach is to use agriculture, supply chain logistics, and hands-on experiential learning—both in the classroom and other settings to help break the endless cycle of poverty. They are fi rm believers that solid roots form the foundation of any strong plant, or any strong community.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Donating to Whispering Roots means helping to give their clients communities a hand up, not a hand out. It means putting healthy food into the mouths of those most in need. It means helping to level the educational playing fi eld. Donors provide a means for these clients to learn how to become self-suffi cient. These patrons are truly growing food, minds, and communities.
MISSION STATEMENT
The YMCA of Greater Omaha’s cause is to strengthen the foundation of community.

Thinning? Bald? Want your hair back?
Non-surgical hair replacement systems are the newest and best answer! This groundbreaking technology has been created so men and women could have the full head of hair they used to have or always desired. The options of color and style are endless, and the products are simple to use and guaranteed to N work. There is no surgery or risk associated with this process.
Gone are the days of the comb-over and wearing a hat all the time. This process can provide us with a chance to renew our self-confidence and refresh our expectations of aging and hair loss. Designed by hairstylists, these systems feel and, most importantly, look, like your hair.
As a person who began losing his hair at the age of 20, I know what it feels like. I tried medication, treatments, and even surgery—three times! None of it worked.
Thankfully, I found this option and cannot describe the confidence boost it’s given me. Please don’t hesitate—contact me today. You deserve the hair you want.
