Omaha Gives!

JDRF is proud to be participating in Omaha Gives!, a 24-hour charitable challenge organized by the Omaha Community Foundation.

The online giving holiday will take place May 24 from midnight to midnight. Mark your calendars because we will need your help! We will be joining more than 800 local nonprofits to raise money together and compete for prize money—the more donors we get to give to us, the more likely we are to win prizes.

Omaha Gives! is a community-wide event to show off Omaha’s spirit of giving, raise awareness about local nonprofits, and celebrate the collective effort it takes to make this city great. Learn more at OmahaGives.org. How can you help Breakthrough T1D during Omaha Gives!?
