We work for the Group Functions department at E.T. Mahoney State Park. We have been tasked to bring in some businesses to partner with us for our upcoming "Venture Park Discovery Fair" on April 8, 2023. In our effort to get people out into the state parks, we would like to offer some raffle prizes for our attendees. We are asking businesses to purchase our PARK BUCKS (gift certificates to spend in any NE state park) and donate them to be given away as a raffle prize to attendees of the Fair. The Park Bucks come in $25.00 increments, and we would appreciate any number of these that one would be willing to help purchase. This event will showcase many of the jobs available in our five Venture Parks (Mahoney State Park, Platte River State Park, Louisville State Recreation Area, Schramm State Recreation Area, and Two Rivers State Recreation Area) from our local area here in NE, as well as, showing some of the equipment we use for work and for the activities around the park. We will have many employees and superintendents available to talk with the attendees. We plan on having raffle prizes, some fun activities, and giveaways.  

We are hoping that you would be able to put us in touch with any local businesses that may be willing to partner with us to provide some of these prizes. Or please feel free to have the business owner give us a call at the number below. We realize this is a last minute request as the Discovery Fair is only a couple weeks away! We will have a donation station, where we will display all of the businesses that donated towards our event.  We would also be more than willing to set out any promotional materials for any business that felt attendees would like.  

If you have any questions, please let us know at 402-944-2523 ext. 7327. Our office is open 8am-430pm daily.

Red Cross honors local community heroes

during Red Cross Month celebration in March

Nebraska residents advance legacy of Clara Barton, one of most honored women in US history.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 — This March, the American Red Cross is honoring those who make its mission possible during the 80th annual American Red Cross Month celebration — a national tradition that began in 1943 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first Red Cross Month proclamation.

“When help can’t wait during emergencies, people in Nebraska rally together to provide relief and hope for neighbors in need,” said Jill Orton, CEO of the Nebraska-Iowa Region of the American Red Cross. “This humanitarian spirit is at the heart of our community, and we are proud to honor all those who make our mission possible during this year’s Red Cross Month celebration. You can join in their commitment by donating, volunteering, giving blood or platelets, or taking a lifesaving skills course.”

Participate in Red Cross Month by visiting redcross.org to become a volunteer, give blood or platelets,

make a financial donation, or take a class in lifesaving skills, such as first aid, CPR and how to use an AED. On March 22, you can also join our annual Red Cross Giving Day campaign by donating at redcross.org/givingday to help provide shelter, food, relief items, emotional support and other assistance for people affected by disasters big and small.

CONTINUING CLARA BARTON’S LIFESAVING LEGACY Today’s Red Cross volunteers, blood and platelet donors and supporters are advancing the lifesaving legacy of Clara Barton — one of the most honored women in U.S. history — who founded the American Red Cross more than 140 years ago. Her vision to prevent and alleviate human suffering has never wavered: Generation after generation, people have come together to adapt this timeless mission for their communities’ most urgent needs.

PREVENT A BLOOD SHORTAGE When volunteer blood and platelet donors lend an arm this March, they’ll help keep the blood supply from dropping further this spring. All who come to give blood, platelets or plasma March 1-31, 2023,​​​​ will receive a $10 Visa® Prepaid Card by email.* Plus, they'll be automatically entered for a chance to win a $3,000 Visa Prepaid Card – which could help toward expenses like gas or groceries. There will be five lucky winners.*
