A Celebration of Entrepreneurship Gala

Summer 2022

Location: TBD

Join the Center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Franchising and Honorary Chair, John L. Hoich, and Co-Chair, Carole Sprunk, as we bring together the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Omaha community for an evening of fun, food and philanthropy to celebrate and support young entrepreneurs, students, startups and programs that change lives and strengthen our community.

This playful and fun-spirited event is unlike anything you have attended! Our annual gala brings together over 300 UNO alumni and community members to support the vital actions of UNO's Entrepreneurship Center!

Guests will be entertained with dinner and drinks, a brief awards ceremony, and a silent and oral auction. Proceeds raised will go to the many programs that provide training, scholarships, and startup funding to UNO entrepreneurs, as well as to numerous social ventures throughout the community.
