MICAH House’s Champagne & Diamonds Derby Event Goes Digital

The 23rd annual Champagne & Diamonds event benefitting MICAH House (themicahhouse.org) is changing its format. In an effort to support social distancing and protect guests, staff, and volunteers, MICAH House is transitioning from the Kentucky Derby to a virtual platform. Additionally, the event date has been pushed back to Saturday, May 9.

While the Kentucky Derby has been moved back until September, Champagne & Diamonds couldn’t wait. MICAH House depends on these crucial funds to support more than 200 families and 350 single women annually. The new virtual event will still include components of the traditional event including a silent auction and the much-anticipated diamond raffle. Other ways to support MICAH House include:

  • Support local—MICAH House is partnering with Council Bluffs and Omaha restaurants and stores to support local business. Attendees will be able to buy gift cards and support both the business and MICAH House’s mission.
  • Diamonds—In addition to purchasing raffle tickets for your chance to win a beautiful diamond necklace, donated by Gunderson’s Jewelers, supporters will also have the opportunity to purchase select diamond jewelry leading up to the event. A portion of the sale will be donated back to MICAH House.
  • Nights of Shelter—Supporters can provide direct support to families and women experiencing homelessness through Nights of Shelter. By making a donation today, supporters ensure that everyone at MICAH House has a warm meal to eat and safe place to sleep at night.

Tickets aren’t required for MICAH House’s virtual Champagne & Diamonds event and more details are available on the website at themicahhouse.org/diamonds.
