A night of fun and games bringing our Omaha community together to play and be silly while raising funds for Bags of Fun Omaha.
Our Bag recipients and medical staff extend sincere thanks for our personalized Bags designed for children undergoing treatment. They appreciate our tailored approach, considering each child’s developmental stage and interests. Sharing heartwarming stories of children, like Sophia and Freddie, who found joy in receiving perfectly-suited games and activities, highlights the Bags’ uniqueness. These moments of distraction and happiness amidst challenging times are invaluable.
Bags of Fun Omaha began its journey in September 2019. Powered by the wish of a 6 year-old girl, Gabby Krause, we set off on a mission to provide every child in the Omaha area battling a life-threatening illness the POWER OF PLAY. Laughter, hope, relief, and a little sense of normalcy during a time that seems anything but normal. We delivered over 120 Bags of Fun in our first year of operation! We have partnered with Fat Brain Toys, a local toy store to provide the core educational, developmentally appropriate, and engaging toys to fill the bags. We work alongside Nebraska Medicine child life specialists, staff at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center as well as non-profit organizations like Angels Among Us and Heart Heroes to provide these kids with bags of toys and activities individually crafted for each child. We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of support from the Omaha community to make this all possible.
Mission: To deliver a Bag of Fun to every child fighting a long-term or life-threatening condition.
Vision: We exist to bring joy, laughter and relief to every child whose health and happiness is threatened and/or compromised.
