Exciting Events Surround Omaha Home for Boys 100-Year Anniversary

In 2020, Omaha Home for Boys (OHB; www.OHB.org) is celebrating 100 years of transforming lives and strengthening the community. OHB is marking this memorable milestone with a year full of exciting events, all of which support the more than 1,300 youth, young adults, children, and families served by the organization each year.

First up, on July 20, is the Fair Deal Open, an annual golf tournament hosted by Gregg Young Automotive Group, at Tiburon Golf Club. The Fair Deal Open honors the memory of Ed Young, a former resident and longtime supporter of OHB.

A second golf tournament will follow on July 29 at the world-class Dismal River Club in the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills. This tournament gives participants the opportunity to meet and mingle with Nebraska Greats Foundation athletes and gain exclusive access to the Dismal River Club.

On August 8, runners and walkers of all ages are invited to leave the flat, city scenery of the typical road race in their dust and head to the Haulin’ Bales Fun Run at OHB’s Cooper Memorial Farm. This run/walk offers a highly unique course and beautiful scenery.

OHB’s year of celebration will culminate with the 100-Year Anniversary Celebration on October 8, featuring keynote speaker Michael Oher. Oher’s journey from the streets of Memphis to the NFL is portrayed in the Academy Award nominated movie The Blind Side. He’s sure to deliver a riveting message!

Registration and ticket sales are open for all 2020 Omaha Home for Boys events. Visit www.OHB.org to learn more or contact Lori Bechtold at (402) 457-7014 / giving@OHB.org.
