Hello and Dobrý Den,
We hope this letter finds you safe, happy, and well. In June 2020, the Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha established a fund under the Midlands Community Foundation (MCF). As the Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha, we are committed to preserving the beauty and integrity of the grounds where many of our loved ones abide.
Establishing this charitable fund, Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha (Fund), provides an opportunity to fundraise and support the Bohemian Cemetery so it may continue to blossom for many generations to come. While the Bohemian Cemetery is a place of peace and remembrance, our hope is to remind visitors that “Všude dobře ale dome nejlépe” - everywhere is good, but home is best.
Upon setting out on our fundraising journey, we are asking individuals and families who are personally connected to the cemetery to donate. Any monetary donation to the Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha is completely tax deductible and will be put towards the beautification and upkeep of the land as well as its structures. Projects supported by this Fund may include, but are not limited to: tree planting, lawn care, historic preservation, and other ventures as can be afforded.
If you would like to contribute to our organization, no amount is too small. Simply go online to midlandscommunity.org/ and click “Donate Now” on the right hand side. You can search for our fund by typing “Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha” and a tax statement will be issued by MCF. Should you prefer to mail a check, you can do so by sending it to MCF at 217 N. Jefferson St. Papillion, NE 68046 with the memo line stating: Bohemian Cemetery Funds.
We look forward to keeping you up to date with the progress we make and we thank you for your time.
Best,
The Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha
