KEC GALA 2026

We are pleased to invite you to the 2026 Annual Gala hosted by the Kearney Enrichment Council—an elegant evening celebrating the timeless style of the Black & White Gala.


Guests are encouraged to dress in classic black and white attire and enjoy a sophisticated night of community, conversation, and purpose. The evening will include a seated dinner, open bar, and both silent and live auctions, all in support of KEC’s mission.


Join us for one of Kearney’s signature events—refined, memorable, and meaningful.


Beyond the festivities, this evening serves a deeper purpose—to raise crucial funds for the Kearney Enrichment Council's Emergency Assistance Program. This program provides vital support for rent and utilities to those facing challenging circumstances. Your generosity fuels our commitment to initiatives like Shop with a Cop, the Kearney Family Foundation, and our community-focused programming. Together, let's make a meaningful impact.

Sponsor Opportunities ranging from Auction Items to $995 DIAMOND SPONSOR!

Our Cause

The Kearney Enrichment Council’s Emergency Assistance Program has been a lifeline for families in crisis, including one where a husband's heart attack led to job loss. His wife courageously returned to work, slowly tackling their bills. Your generosity allows us to continue providing crucial support to those in dire need.


In addition to our Emergency Assistance Program, our Shop with a Cop and Kearney Family Foundation initiatives provide vital holiday support for the underprivileged. Moreover, KEC contributes to our community through Youth & Senior programming and diverse events, aimed at revitalizing Downtown Kearney.
