About the Keynote Speaker:

Shannon Miller

Shannon Miller is one of the most decorated gymnasts in American history with 7 Olympic medals (2 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze). A successful business woman, a cancer survivor and a loving wife and mother, Shannon’s life on and off the gymnastics floor will leave you motivated and inspired to be the very best you can be each and every day.

In January of 2011, Shannon was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer. She had the baseball-sized tumor removed successfully and followed up with an aggressive chemotherapy regimen. Now cancer-free, she continues to be a strong advocate for early detection.

Last year's Mardi Gras Gala raised more than $150,000. We are planning a spectacular program for our guests in hopes of raising even more dollars than last year. As our largest fundraiser of the year, the gala’s success is directly tied to the number of cancer patients we are able to help throughout the year.

Help Us Light Up the Mardi Gras Gala ​in Celebration of Cancer Patients

Purchase Luminary

Celebrate a loved one in their fight against cancer or celebrate the memory of someone who lost their battle by purchasing a special luminary labeled with "In celebration of" and personalized with their name to be displayed at the Mardi Gras Gala. 

10,000 Nebraskans will be diagnosed with cancer this year; it's clear that cancer affects us all, and this is a beautiful way to honor patients, past and present. 

Secure your luminary today and we will reach out to gather the name of the individual you wish to celebrate. Thank you for your support and donation to the inaugural luminaries year. 

If you do participate, we encourage you to take the luminary and/or the ornament of your celebrated loved one as a special keepsake following the event.
