Join Us on Sept. 10!
@ 3 PM - 6 PM on the Tri-FAITH COMMONS
13136 Faith Plaza, OMAHA, NE 68144
Following a successful inaugural year with 2,200+ participants, Tri-Faith Initiative is thrilled to host the second annual United We Walk fundraiser — a 1-mile loop around the Tri-Faith Commons near 132nd and Pacific streets — on Sunday, September 10.
Donations during the event directly benefit Tri-Faith’s mission of cultivating inclusive environments in our community that advance interfaith relationships and understanding.
As a major late summer event in the Omaha metro, United We Walk brings together people, businesses, and nonprofit partners to build trust and understanding in an enriching way.
As a commemoration of the tragic events of 9/11, the gathering of so many different groups and view points sends a clear message:
“Hatred and violence toward anyone in our community will never be tolerated; we are always stronger together.”
Form a team and bring banners, signs, t-shirts, etc. — whatever helps you proudly express the beauty of your affiliations, identities, and communities! This is your chance to show up and show out, Omaha! Let’s make this year’s walk one to remember.
WHAT ATTENDEES CAN EXPECT:
- A 1-mile loop around the Tri-Faith Commons near 132nd and Pacific streets
- A colorful array of musical, poetry, and dance performances
- Open houses of the interfaith center (Tri-Faith Center), the synagogue (Temple Israel), the church (Countryside Community Church), and mosque (American Muslim Institute)
- A community fair featuring organizations contributing to a more inclusive Omaha
- Food trucks and family-friendly activities across the Commons that encourage learning and community-building across differences
- An immersive youth art project for Abraham’s Bridge lead by Joslyn’s Kent Bellows Mentoring Program.
