Each spring, KSDEF hosts a special fundraising event that brings our community together to support Kearney students and educators. The event changes from year to year, but the purpose stays the same: creating opportunities that go beyond what public school funding can provide. 

Join us for a memorable event, support Kearney schools, and help turn “we wish we could” into “we can.”

Experience an evening of high-energy fun as the Harlem Wizards bring their signature tricks, teamwork, and crowd-pleasing entertainment to Kearney. This family-friendly event offers laughter, amazing basketball skills, and interactive moments that engage fans of all ages. Join us for a memorable night that blends sports, showmanship, and community spirit. 

Rise and Shine is our signature community breakfast celebrating the students and educators of Kearney. Enjoy a warm, uplifting morning featuring student performances, inspiring stories, and a shared commitment to supporting Educator Grants that spark innovation in our schools. Join us and be part of the impact!
