JE Dunn Centennial Corporate Giving Initiative Donates Big to Omaha’s Boys Town

Boys Town National Research Hospital of Omaha Receives One of Ten, $100,000 Grants as Part of JE Dunn Building a Legacy: A Century of Generosity Campaign.

Omaha, NE. June 21, 2024 – Boys Town National Research Hospital of Omaha is the proud recipient of a $100,000 gift from JE Dunn Construction. In honor of its Centennial celebration, JE Dunn is extending its community impact by choosing ten worthy organizations to receive a grant of $100,000 to further their important work. This community impact program, Building a Legacy: A Century of Generosity, will be honoring nonprofit organizations from across the country. Boys Town received this grant on Thursday, June 20 in a surprise ceremony.

Boys Town National Research Hospital provides life-changing care backed by 40 years of translational research and was recently recognized as a Level 4 Pediatric Epilepsy Center. Boys Town prioritizes safe, comfortable, patient-centered care and allows parents of patients to wait in the private pre/post-operative rooms throughout their stay. A Building a Legacy grant would support the expansion of the Pre/Post Procedural area of the Surgery Center to serve more patients. This unique approach in combination with the broad scope of high-quality, sought-after services has resulted in the need for more space to effectively serve the Surgery Center’s patient load. To address this need, Boys Town will be converting an on-site conference room space adjacent to the Surgical Center to an additional five private patient bays for pre-operative, post-operative, and intravenous infusion care.

“We are deeply grateful for the incredible partnership we have with JE Dunn,” said Lisa Hukill from Boys Town. “It was a true honor to be a part of JE Dunn’s 100-year celebration of building excellence through the transformative centennial giving campaign. We are especially thankful to the Nebraska JE Dunn team for voting for Boys Town to receive this generous grant.”

JE Dunn employees nominated and voted on a variety of organizations to settle on the final 10 recipients.

“Being able to give back to the communities around us is the perfect way to celebrate 100 years of JE Dunn,” JE Dunn Community Impact Director Nancy Phelps said. “Boys Town has been serving their community’s medical needs for many years, and we are extremely thrilled to honor that legacy.”
