The Toy Drive started in 2003 with Larry Dunn—an Omaha musician also known as Lash LaRue. In 2003, Dunn arranged a benefit concert to collect toys for Pine Ridge children, with several musician friends volunteering to perform at the event.
​
Each year has added more concerts and other events, such as radiothons, summer events and concerts outside Omaha. Because of the growth of the Toy Drive, Dunn expanded its reach on Pine Ridge, offering a variety of assistance over the years: providing resources to a medical clinic on the reservation, educational resources for schools, resources for suicide prevention groups and establishing the heating fund.

A look at past WPAC events:

Dear Patrons and Friends,
 
We want to thank you for being adventurous and joining us for our upcoming productions! As we continue our INTERMISSION of a regular season at the Wilson Performing Arts Center, we continue to follow the CDC’s guidance to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.  Along with the rest of our theatre community, we’re unsure about the coming year, but we can assure you that we are taking all precautions to  ensure you have an enjoyable, safe experience.
 
Though attending live performances will undoubtedly be a different experience this season, we are creating some  great entertainment for all to enjoy.  We are taking things one day at a time and we will advertise when we have upcoming events so that you can plan to join us!
 
We also ask those of you who are financially able, to stick with us during these difficult times.  With the cancellation of productions since March, and the uncertainty of next season, we have had a significant financial strain put on our organization. We ask that you consider continuing in your critical role as a supporter of  the Wilson Performing Arts Center with your generous contributions. No gift is too small, and all gifts are greatly appreciated!
 
As always, thank you for your support and patience. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation as it evolves, and look forward to welcoming you back to the Wilson Performing Arts Center soon. 
 
Get your Mask on at the Wilson!
