Omaha Gives Charitable Challenge Gives 2 Ways to Support MHS Foundations: May 25

 

Omaha's fourth annual 24-hour charitable challenge is an opportunity for the community to give to worthy local nonprofits, including Jennie Edmundson Foundation and Methodist Hospital Foundation.

Organized by the Omaha Community Foundation, Omaha Gives! is an online giving event to inspire the community to come together for 24 hours to contribute charitable dollars to support the work of local nonprofit organizations in the metro area (Douglas, Sarpy and Pottawattamie counties).

Last year, more than 20,000 people raised nearly $9 million for area nonprofits in just one day, including nearly $75,000 for Methodist Hospital Foundation and $20,000 for Jennie Edmundson Foundation.
