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

There are some lucky people going to watch the Huskers and some other lucky people hanging out in the Ozarks. More importantly, there will be lots of financial support available for families facing the challenges of childhood cancer.

thank you sponsors and donors

We value our sponsors that made this event a success. Thank you!

did you miss the splash? don’t worry you can still support.

Sometimes timing does not work for everyone, but you can still make a difference for these families by donating to the Metro Area Youth Foundation.

MAYF brought you an exclusive look at a grand collection of cars and more

Guests of MAYF’s Cars & Guitars Bash explored a stunning museum featuring more than 125 meticulously restored American Muscle Cars, a diverse collection of autographed guitars, and other unique collectibles, typically closed to the public, on May 9, 2024.

In addition to getting an eyeful of beautiful restored cars and an eclectic collection of valuables, guests met this year’s Ambassador, Joe, an Iowa teenager fighting childhood cancer.

Thanks, in large part to our sponsors and our host, Peter Fink, the benefit brought in enough financial assistance to support at least 30 families who will fight a form of childhood cancer at Children’s Hospital or Nebraska Medicine in the next 3 months.

For a sneak peak into the night, check out a few of our favorite photos of the night.
