PBR Be Cowboy Award presented to SHARE Omaha

Written by Katie Fourney    on May 4, 2021    in
This past Saturday at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, SHARE Omaha and Marjorie Maas were honored to be presented with the PBR Be Cowboy Award! 

As the Professional Bull Riding, Inc Be Cowboy Award says, 
It's not the hat, the buckle, or the boots.
It's not what you ride or what you drive.
It's the values you embrace and the way you live your life.
Be Badder Be Bolder Be Braver
BE COWBOY



Thank you PBR for this honor!

SHARE Omaha turns two years old!

Written by Katie Fourney    on January 21, 2021    in
This month, SHARE Omaha turns two years old! We want you to know, it has been a joy to dedicate these 730+ days to connecting metro supporters throughout eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa to local causes. 

You may know, Omaha was the second metropolitan area in the country to launch a nonprofit organization utilizing Share Good’s innovative software, the first metropolitan being Charlotte, North Carolina. Over the past two years, SHARE Omaha has grown quickly to offer greater visibility for nonprofits of all sizes on an equal playing field.
