Children’s Scholarship Fund of Omaha to Host 2017 CHANCE Luncheon

Children’s Scholarship Fund of Omaha’s (www.csfomaha.org) 2017 CHANCE Luncheon will be held on June 7, 2017 at the CenturyLink Center from 11:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. Doors open at 11:00 a.m. for registration and seating.

Drawing countless attendees each year, the CHANCE Luncheon celebrates the work of Children’s Scholarship Fund of Omaha (CSF), featuring an inspirational keynote speaker and presentation of Rising Star awards. Honorary Luncheon Chairs are Mike and Nancy McCarthy, and this year’s keynote speaker will be Cardinal Blase J. Cupich. Rising Stars awards are given to current CSF students who demonstrate leadership qualities, overcome obstacles, or foster community within their schools. Proceeds from the luncheon will provide funding for much-needed scholarships.

CSF provides tuition assistance scholarships so children from low-income families can access the private or parochial K-8 education of their choice. CSF is destination neutral and has no religious affiliation – children attend approximately 80 different schools across Omaha and northeast Nebraska. A crucial piece of the CSF program is the commitment it requires from families. Each CSF family must contribute $500 toward their children’s education and children must achieve a 90% attendance rate. Since 1999, more than 31,000 scholarships have been awarded.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available – please visit www.csfomaha.org/upcoming-events/ or call the CSF office at (402) 819-4990 to learn more or reserve your seat.
