2011

The 2011 Diamonds in the Rough Annual Fundraiser was held on Friday, September 2, 2011. The venue for the event, which is traditionally held solely on the River City Star, was changed this year to include a live concert featuring Omaha's #1 Cover Band, Taxi Driver, down on Miller's Landing. With the unfortunate and history making flooding of the Missouri River, the River City Star was unable to sail, however, it didn't stop guests from having an amazing time, despite a storm that came through that evening!

The Annual Gene Haynes award, which honors a member of our community for their dedication to youth and families in our community, was awarded this year to Mr. Ivan Gilreath, President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club.

OES would like to thank each and every one of its Corporate Sponsors for their outstanding contribution & support of OES and to each of the donors that helped to make this event possible.

Watch for exciting details regarding the 2012 Fundraiser which will be announced in the next couple months. The 2012 event will be bigger than ever and is expected to be the largest fundraiser hosted by OES in its history!

Awards were given to the Owens Educational Services's sponsors. The Gene Haynes award was presented to Tommie Wilson for her work with youths of this generation.

The River City Star was boarded shortly thereafter. Dinner was served as the ship made its way down the Missouri River. Toward the end of the event, the raffle and silent auction were held. You can view photos by clicking Gallery below.
