NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet

NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet

The NAACP, Lincoln Branch's Freedom Fund Banquet: Thriving Together will be Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Nebraska Innovation Campus 22021 Transformation Dr., Lincoln, Nebraska. There will be a social hour at 6:30pm, dinner and a program will follow at 7:00pm. Tickets are $70 for adults and $45 for students (K-12).

Our keynote speaker will be Rob Jeffreys, director of the Nebraksa Department of Correctional Services. The NAACP, Lincoln Branch, was founded in 1918 and has played a vital role in improving the lives of the socially, politically and economically disenfranchised. We have strived together to identify, prioritize and advocate for the needs of our community by collaborating with other organizations, educating our community, promoting civil rights and encouraging community service. The theme for this year’s banquet is “Thriving Together.”

The proceeds from the Annual Freedom Fund Banquet support the mission of the Lincoln Branch NAACP and our scholarship program. Every spring, the NAACP, Lincoln Branch grants Community Service Scholarships to a diverse group of Lincoln high school graduating seniors who will attend a post-secondary accredited institution. This year, we hope to raise enough money to award $5,000 in scholarships with proceeds from the 2024 Freedom Fund Banquet.
