Dessert is a privilege to those who win at the Dessert Dash. These desserts were almost too pretty to eat.

This year we have tickets to the Nebraska vs Iowa game! There are also fishing trips and other sweet destination items. There are always impactful ways to make the lives of these families a little bit better.

multiply your impact with matching donations

We are excited to participate in Midland Community Foundation (MCF)’s Matching Program every year. Under the Match Program, MCF will provide matching funds for NEW contributions made to existing and newly created charitable funds up to $5,000 per individual donor.

During the 2024-2025 Midlands Mash, your donations earned an additional 15% match and almost $5,000 of available funds for families fighting childhood cancer.

The Midlands Mash starts on Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2025 and ends on January 5, 2026. Donations can be made online on the Midlands Community Foundation’s website (click the link below) or check by mail to Metro Area Youth Foundation, P.O. Box 540722, Omaha, NE 68154.

Thank you for supporting MAYF all year long!

MAYF returned to peter fink’s museum and still didn’t see everything!

On Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., guests explored a breathtaking museum featuring over 125 meticulously restored American Muscle Cars, a diverse collection of autographed guitars, and other rare collectibles—an exclusive experience typically closed to the public. Guests from the 2024 Cars & Guitars Bash saw new cars and memorabilia, as Peter Fink is always updating his collection.

In addition to enjoying the incredible displays, guests met our 2025 Ambassador, a courageous child fighting pediatric cancer. Alex’s family shared their journey, offering a heartfelt glimpse into the realities faced by families battling childhood cancer.

Thanks to our generous sponsors and host, Peter Fink, the event increased support to families at Children’s Hospital and Nebraska Medicine. Donations from the evening will allow MAYF to help an additional 38 families next year.

Here are a few photos from the last two years.
