Sargent Westerv i l le The Custer County Foundation held its 12th Annual Gala & Auction on Saturday,
December 10th at the One Box Convention Center in Broken Bow. By raising over
$122,000, the evening was deemed a success! The Foundation sincerely appreciates the
generosity of the many businesses and individuals throughout Custer County. THANK YOU
for making it possible to have a successful event!
The theme this year was “Unlock the Magic of
the Season.” Magician Jerod Cernousek from
Holdrege entertained the guests in attendance
by performing magic tricks tableside and on
stage.
As guests arrived they had the opportunity to
purchase keys for $10 each. After all keys were
sold guests tried to unlock one of three gift
boxes containing cash prizes donated by Muddy
Creek Ag ($250), Arrow Aviation, Inc. ($500),
and the Custer County Foundation Board of
Directors ($1,000). Dave Belina won the $250,
Peg Keller won the $500, and Kent Leibhart
unlocked the gift box containing $1,000.
Other highlights of the evening included the ever popular “Heads or Tails” game. For $10/
bead necklace, guests had the opportunity to win $500 cash by simply choosing either
“heads” or “tails” at the toss of a coin. Kathy Eberle beat out the competition and was the
lucky winner of the $500.
Karen Smith was the raffle drawing winner of the beautiful vintage dancing diamond 14k,
white gold necklace donated by Sargent Irrigation Company.
The evening would not have been complete without the drawing for the Polaris Ranger
Side by Side sponsored by Ag-Land ATV and Custer County Foundation Ag Boosters. And
the winner was… Cindy Duncan of Broken Bow!
Proceeds from the evening will be incorporated into the funds of the Foundation and
returned to Custer County in the form of grants for charitable organizations and
scholarships for non-traditional students.
The steady growth of the Foundation is driven by donors’ generosity, ideas, and beliefs that
the Custer County Foundation can make a difference in the lives of the people who live and
work in Custer County. Thank you for supporting the Custer County Foundation!

Charitable IRA Rollover The Custer County Foundation can help turn your individual retirement accounts (IRAs) into tax-saving charitable gifts.
Extended tax benefits allow more people to experience the joy of giving during their lifetimes.
Thanks to new legislation, American seniors can make the gift of a lifetime by giving their IRAs to charity without federal tax
penalty. So your retirement funds can go further than ever before.
The IRA Charitable Rollover was passed by congress and signed into permanent law by the President, allowing taxpayers 70½
and older to transfer up to $100,000 annually from an IRA to public charities such as the Custer County Foundation without
federal tax. Such rollover payments apply toward minimum distributions and do not add to income.
The Custer County Foundation can help you connect to the causes you care about most. You can set up a charitable fund in
your name or make an unrestricted gift. Giving is one of life’s pleasures; we can help you enjoy it today. By giving through your
community foundation, you can use your gift to meet ever-changing community needs—including future needs that often
cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made. Your gift can target the causes and programs you care about most.
The Custer County Foundation understands our community’s most pressing issues and can help you establish a fund to make
an impact in areas of need or opportunity that are important to you. Here are three great ways to turn your IRA into
community good:
Major Impact Grant Fund—Meeting ever-changing community needs.
Address a broad range of current and future needs. Custer County Foundation evaluates all aspects of community well-being-
arts and culture, community development, education, environment, health and human services- and awards strategic grants to
high-impact projects and programs.
Field of Interest Fund—Connecting personal values to high-impact opportunities.
Target gifts to the cause most important to you: arts, rural education, neighborhood revitalization, youth welfare and more.
Custer County Foundation awards grants to community organizations and programs addressing your special interest area.
Designated Fund—Helping local organizations sustain and grow.
Support the good work of a specific nonprofit organization—a senior center, 4-H club or any qualifying nonprofit charitable
organization—by creating a specially Designated Fund. The Custer County Foundation will invest your gift for long-term
growth and issue grants to your favorite nonprofit on a regular basis.
To learn more contact the Custer County Foundation or your personal tax advisor.
