NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet

NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet

The NAACP, Lincoln Branch's Freedom Fund Banquet: our theme is “The Fierce Urgency of Now “. This year’s event will be October 11, 2025, at Embassy Suites, 1040 P Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. Social is 6:00 to 6:30 pm. The program is from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Our speaker will be Senator Terrell McKinney, Nebraska Legislator District 11. Your support of this year’s banquet will help to provide scholarships for deserving Lincoln students who will attend college, support the legal Table, our Get Out The Vote (GOTV) campaign and other goals of the Lincoln Branch NAACP. We hope that you will continue to assure that our Branch remains viable in our community. Tickets are $70 for adults and $45 for students (K-12).

This year’s Freedom Fund Banquet is a plated meal. If you are unable to attend, we welcome your donation.

The proceeds from the Annual Freedom Fund Banquet support the mission of the Lincoln Branch NAACP and our scholarship program. Every spring, the NAACP, Lincoln Branch grants Community Service Scholarships to a diverse group of Lincoln high school graduating seniors who will attend a post-secondary accredited institution. This year, we hope to raise enough money to award $5,000 in scholarships with proceeds from the 2024 Freedom Fund Banquet.
