At the annual 9/11 Luncheon of Honor on September 11, the First Responders Foundation inducted me into the Ancient Order of the National Society of St. Florian and St. Michael. It was a special moment that recognized my long-standing support for an incredible foundation.

Back in September of 2021, I hosted Omaha’s Rally for the Responders. The day was dedicated to those who put the city first during a time like no other. It celebrated first responders, firefighters, police officers, EMTs, nurses, and doctors who showed us what courage and duty are all about during the COVID pandemic. They cared for the citizens of our community, protected us and kept our city going. The Rally was filled with live music, food, exotic horses, first responder vehicles, carnival games and fireworks. The Foundation had a booth where people wrote notes of thanks to first responders and children drew pictures of appreciation. Held at TD Ameritrade Park, it was 100% free. 

The Rally was an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind day and event. I was proud to show first responders and their families my deepest appreciation. And I was honored to receive this unique recognition from the First Responders Foundation.
