Omaha Steaks will underwrite the hourly prizes for the fourth annual Omaha Gives! 24-hour online fundraising campaign which begins on May 25.
Omaha Gives! is an online charitable day of giving, based on successful giving day programs hosted across the country. Organized by the Omaha Community Foundation, the goal is to promote and grow local philanthropy in the Omaha area by inspiring the community to come together to contribute as many charitable dollars as possible, supporting the work of more than 700 local nonprofit organizations.
Last year, more than 20,000 people donated through Omaha Gives!, raising more than $8.8 million dollars for non-profits in the Omaha area. Omaha Steaks was honored to support Omaha Gives! as the hourly prize sponsor in 2013, 2014 and 2015 adding an additional $1,000 to one randomly selected organization every hour for a total of $24,000.
"Omaha Steaks is proud to support a number of cultural arts, education and health and human service organizations in our hometown and across the country," said Todd Simon, Senior Vice President of Omaha Steaks. "These organizations greatly enhance our lives and we are honored to support the Omaha community through Omaha Gives! as well as a variety of organizations both locally and nationally through our Steaks for Good program."
