The Nebraska Masonic Home Foundation
1st Annual Fundraising Gala:
Carnival of Dreams
A Brazilian-Inspired Night of Celebration, Music, and Giving
Sunday, October 4, 2026
4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Scottish Rite Masonic Center, Omaha, NE
The Ashlar Subdivision Townhomes, a new neighborhood of independent living townhomes on the Nebraska Masonic Home campus.
The Story
For years, our donor appreciation dinner was a heartfelt thank-you to the Caring Club members who sustain the Nebraska Masonic Home. At our 2024 gathering, our donors spoke clearly: retire the individual plaques, move to a ticketed model, and put those dollars back into The Home. We listened – and we’re going further.
Our new Fundraising Gala throws open the doors to the entire Nebraska Masonic family and friends of the Home – not just our closest donors. Every ticket, sponsorship, and bid directly funds the Home’s mission, including major initiatives like the Ashlar Subdivision Townhomes, our newest independent living neighborhood right on The Nebraska Masonic Home campus.
This isn’t a one-time event – it’s our new annual tradition of thanking the people who make The Home possible, with room for many more of us at the table each year.
This Year’s Highlights
- Live bossa nova, samba, & Latin drums
- A Churrasco-style Brazilian steakhouse feast
- Copacabana-inspired entrance & photo experience
- Silent & live auctions that will keep the energy soaring until the last bid
For the first time, this celebration belongs to the entire Nebraska Masonic family and friends of the Home – not just our closest donors.
