About Bids For Kids:

Bids For Kids is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Elkhorn Public Schools Foundation. Proceeds from this event will help us provide additional funding for Classroom Grants, Scholarships, Teacher Tuition Reimbursement, Math & Reading Assistance, our Kids in Need fund, and more!

In the 2022-2023 school year, over 400 elementary students needed additional instruction in math and reading. Because of the generous support of our Bids For Kids sponsors, donors, and bidders, we’re able to continue to fund these vital programs as the need for them increases.

If you are interested in making a donation to help fund these important programs, you can donate online or call the Elkhorn Public Schools Foundation office at (402)289.1727. Thank you for your support!
