Join Us for a Night to Remember

Join us for a Night to Remember!

The Kim Foundation is excited to announce that we will be hosting a unique experience for our 2024 fall event, A Time for Hope & Healing on September 12th. This year, we are moving our event to the evening and to a different location, the Steelhouse, a new music venue in downtown Omaha! We are honored to welcome John Ondrasik, the lead singer of Five for Fighting as he weaves in some of his greatest hits, 100 Years, Superman, and others, into his masterful storytelling and personal experience with mental health.

I had the opportunity to experience his performance in Los Angeles at the 2023 National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s annual conference and it was very memorable. His vulnerability, honesty, and talent came shining through from stage. There was laughter, as well as a few tears shed, but it was unlike a typical event experience, and I knew we needed to bring him to Omaha for our community to take part.

We would love to fill the Steelhouse with more than 1,000 community members, so please consider joining us for this incredible event! Sponsorships are still available for any company or individual who is interested in supporting the event. Individual tickets have also gone on sale, so please, gather a group of family and friends and join us on September 12th at 6:00pm! In addition to the performance, heavy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will be available.
