After much careful consideration and consultation, the Aksarben Foundation regretfully announces the cancellation of the 2020 Aksarben Ball. Earlier this year, Aksarben announced the postponement of the Ball from October to January. In light of the continuing coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, the Aksarben Foundation and Aksarben Women’s Ball Committee have determined this as the best course of action to ensure the health and safety of all who planned to attend.
“We all remain dedicated to the Aksarben Ball, which is a celebration to honor those who have given so much to our community. Resuming the Aksarben Ball next October will give us the best chance of making certain that all families honored, and all attendees, will feel the full celebratory spirit of Aksarben. We are grateful for the state’s ongoing support of Aksarben, and we look forward to celebrating with you next fall.” – Terry Kroeger, Chairman of the Aksarben Foundation Board.
The Aksarben Ball is a statewide celebration which, for the past 125 years, has been bringing Nebraska’s civic minded families together to celebrate and recognize the spirit of giving in our state. The Ball format recognizes families for their contributions to their communities and to the state of Nebraska. While the event raises money for Aksarben scholarships, the purpose of the event is to convene, and honor families committed to the wellbeing of the state.
