Mrs. Buckely, Kirsten Swanson-Moore, is looking for 3+ volunteers to help at the Douglas County Community Foundation Annual Heroes Gala on September 12th at Signature Aviation. Dress code is cocktail and jackets and our fun cocktail hour starts at 6pm. This year DCCF have expanded the idea of Heroes and that they come in many forms. Some respond to emergencies, protect our communities, or serve our nation. Others quietly make a lasting difference through compassion, service, leadership, and generosity. A hero is someone who inspires others through courage, integrity and a willingness to put the needs of others before their own. While they rarely seek recognition, the Douglas County Community Foundation (DCCF) believes their impact deserves to be celebrated. 

The theme of The Human Effect in the Age of AI is to embrace that while all of our partners and heroes utilize AI and new technology in their service to Douglas County, the human effect they bring can never be replaced. Every dollar raised September 12th means more help for our Douglas County organizations and their causes, and support of our Mission. DCCF’s Mission is to provide leadership and responsible stewardship of philanthropic resources to strengthen our community and enrich the lives of every resident in Douglas County.
