Angels Among Us Announces Virtual Fundraising Gala with a Twist

As operations continue to be far from normal, Angels Among Us (myangelsamongus.org) is taking its biggest annual fundraising gala online on October 1 and 2. Silent auction items will be made available for viewing the morning of October 1 with virtual cocktail party games beginning at 4 p.m. Online bidding for the silent auction will open on October 2, then supporters are encouraged to tune into a one-hour program at 7 p.m. which will feature videos of child cancer patients and families, a live auction, and comedy by local icon Kris Covi. The gala benefits the many cancer families that Angels Among Us serves every year. Proceeds help families dealing with cancer cover mortgages, rent, utilities, medical bills, and other needs that must be met while they focus on their child’s treatment and healing.

Aflac has stepped forward as the Presenting Host Sponsor to help make this year’s virtual event a success, while also encouraging supporters to stay home and stay healthy in honor of the Angels Among Us families. Corporate sponsors are encouraged to host watch parties of up to 10 people. Dinner, wine, and other accommodations will be delivered between 5 and 6 p.m. to these corporate watch parties as a part of the gala.

Angels Among Us is a Nebraska nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to families whose children are battling pediatric cancer. For the full gala schedule, go online to myangelsamongus.org or contact Aly Theilen at alyssa@myangelsamongus.org / (402) 934-0999.
