The Heartland Cancer Foundation (HCF) (heartlandcancerfoundation.org) believes no cancer patient should fall behind on treatment because they struggle to afford their everyday expenses.
Event sponsors directly support HCF’s mission to provide practical and immediate financial assistance to eligible cancer patients in the community. Sponsorship ensures that these individuals can focus on what matters most, healing.
HCF’s signature Mardi Gras Gala is more than just an event—it’s a celebration with a cause. This themed evening features keynote speakers, a premium auction and top-tier entertainment. As HCF’s largest fundraiser of the year, the gala’s success directly impacts the number of cancer patients they can serve, which was 339 in 2023.
The last Mardi Gras Gala raised $266,747 in proceeds, and HCF is committed to expanding their impact. In 2025, they plan to increase their grant size to $1,000 and extend services to additional counties in Nebraska. Sponsorships are vital to powering these efforts.
The 10th Annual Mardi Gras Gala will take place on Saturday, February 8, 2025 at the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln. This event will bring together physicians, medical and oncology staff, cancer survivors and community members.
This is a unique opportunity for businesses of all sizes to support the cancer community while gaining high-profile recognition. HCF offers a wide range of sponsorship opportunities, with benefits including tickets to the event and prominent acknowledgment in marketing materials.
