You Have Good Taste: Friends of Nebraska Children Thanks You for Showing Up to the Perfect Pour!

Whether through contributing to our organization, sharing our social media posts, or attending our events, there are many ways you support our mission. We especially appreciate those of you who attend our yearly fundraisers, including Perfect Pour. We rang in this year’s event with an Amalfi Coast theme, Nebraska’s finest bartenders, and Rosolio di Bergamotto liqueur. Of course, Perfect Pour was even more perfect with observing live oil painting, reuniting with friends, and dancing the night away.

Thank you to our Presenting Sponsors, and all the other generous people and organizations, for making our evening perfect!
