"A Bridge of Love" was this year's gala. Over 250 guests attended and raised over $127,000. The money will be used to fund research and provide services for the over 340,000 adults and 1,800 children in Nebraska that have arthritis.

The Omaha World Herald hosted the patron cocktail reception on the 15th Floor of the Freedom Center downtown preceding the event. Over 100 benefactors and patrons enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

Mike and Gail Yanney served as Gala Corporate Chairmen with Cathy Bonnesen and Teri Teutsch as advisors. In attendance were family of the honoree as well as Senator Ben Nelson with wife Diane Nelson and former Mayor Mike Fahey.
