For Families
Families dealing with a death can find information on programs and resources available to them. Parents can learn how each age/developmental level copes with death.
For Kids
This section contains resources for kids dealing with grief as well as information for adults who want to learn how to better support kids.
For Teens
Teens deal with death and grief differently than younger children. We have tailored programs and information specifically toward teens that have lost a loved one or a close friend.
For Young Adults
Even in our young adulthood, dealing with the loss of a loved one can be very difficult. Our new programs for young adults provide a safe, supportive environment for those ages 18-30.
For Professionals
Professionals can learn about upcoming training opportunities, ways to support grieving children and teens with whom they work, and how to refer families to our program.

5K/10K Run & Remembrance Walk
Are you looking something fun to do this summer? Do you enjoy being outside and sharing good times with friends and family? If so, we hope you'll join us on Saturday, August 29th for another fabulous walk and run to benefit Ted E. Bear Hollow! Held at Outback Steakhouse off 76th and Cass, this event has something for everyone! The morning begins with the 5K/10K race, followed by the family Remembrance Walk. Return to Outback for fabulous food, drinks, music, raffle prizes, free massages and more! Coach Dana Altman and the Creighton Bluejays will be there to run and autograph team posters!
This year, as a way to remember those who have died, we are introducing our new "Memory Flags." For a small donation of $10, we'll print your loved one's name on a custom made memory flag that will line the walk. We encourage everyone to run or walk in memory of a special person, and we are excited about this new way to make our event even more meaningful!
Invite your friends and family, and help make this our biggest run/walk ever! This year's event has been designated the Nebraska State RRCA 10K Championship Race.
Visit the Events Calendar to view more information on this year's 5K/10K Run & Remembrance Walk, including our new and convenient online registration. You'll also find details on raffle tickets, sponsorship forms and other exciting aspects of the event!
Call Karen at 502-2773 for more details.
