Concerts are held in the green space on the east side of campus (near the JCC pavilion) and are open to the entire community. Simply show up and enjoy. In case of inclement weather the concert will be canceled. Please check our website or find us on Facebook for event updates.
The Backyard Concert series is made possible through the generous support of the Frederick J. Simon Memorial Endowment Fund, Omaha Steaks and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor, Andrew Robinson.
It's also Uncle Chuck Night!
Chuck Arnold, also known as “Uncle Chuck” was a man who believed in the power of community. In doing so, he inspired generations of Jewish Omahans. Among his many roles, “Uncle” Chuck served as the JCC’s first Summer Camp Director and was JCC Athletic Director for 28 years! Whatever the task, he did it with love, warmth, and dedication. We are proud to name this night in honor of him and hope for your help raising funds to build a basketball gymnasium in his name. Those who donate at this event will receive a name on our donation wall in the fitness center* or a free Uncle Chuck t-shirt! (*minimum donation amounts apply) Learn more about the project or make a donation HERE!
