21st Annual TeamMates Mentoring Gala
The 21st Annual event will again be held at the La Vista Embassy Suites on Nov. 4, 2022.
Founded in 1991 by Dr. Tom and Nancy Osborne, the TeamMates Mentoring Program invites you to be a part of a special evening celebrating the TeamMates Mentoring Gala and the impact mentoring can have on a student’s life. Hosted by former Husker Football coach Tom Osborne, our special guest speakers, made possible by Nebraska Crossing, including Drew Brees, along with appearances from local celebrities, including, but not limited to the “Larry the Cable Guy” Dan Whitney. The evening will feature dinner, live music, a raffle, and both silent and live auctions.
The TeamMates Gala provides about a third of the TeamMates Mentoring Program’s annual operating expenses, including mentor background checks, $30, supporting a mentee for a year, $450, and opening a new TeamMates Chapter, $15,000. The impact of mentoring on a student’s life is made possible through the support and generosity of our friends and partners.
