Completely KIDS (completelykids.org) has launched its 2025 Year-End Appeal, a fundraising campaign running through the end of the year with a goal of raising $100,000 to support nearly 3,000 children and families in the Omaha community.
This year’s campaign highlights Omar and Zarina, parents whose lives were transformed through Completely KIDS programs. Once struggling to balance long work hours and childcare, they found stability and opportunity through afterschool care, family support and adult education. Today, their daughter, Yocza, works at Completely KIDS and dreams of becoming a dentist, while their son, Omar Jr., thrives in the organization’s afterschool program.
Each dollar donated directly supports meals, educational resources, afterschool enrichment and mental health services that empower children and parents to grow stronger together.
“Every gift brings us closer to ensuring that children and families not only meet their basic needs, but also discover the courage and confidence to dream bigger,” said Carla Rizzo, CEO of Completely KIDS.
New this year, the campaign features donor incentives, giveaways and social media challenges to keep supporters engaged throughout the season. The community is encouraged to follow Completely KIDS on Instagram @completelykids_ to stay up to date on the latest news and donate at completelykids.org.
