A mom with black glasses and a trendy short blond haircut that sticks up a bit. She has black thick rimmed glasses on, is smiling with bright red lipstick, and has her head tilted to one side a little. She is holding a 2 or 3 year old in her arms. He has blue eyes, is smiling at the camera, and looks very sophisticated with a blue beret hat and dark blue sweater with a blue and white checker shirt collar sticking out the top of the sweater. He has a little smile on his face as well. We can see the purple backgorund behind them with part of the Bags of Fun Omaha logo on the wall.

Our Story

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.
