Think of Omaha as center court: a dynamic and unique destination in the cen- ter of the country, full of action. Omaha has this special spirit that fills the city like an arena full of fans whose team just won with a buzzer beater. Excitement for what it has built, what it has accomplished and what’s still ahead. It’s a spirit born on the banks of the Missouri River, a city founded in 1854 by land speculators convinced they were at the heart of something new. Soon after, the transcontinental railroad was built and Omaha emerged as a hotbed of activity and new technologies. There is a great story about Omaha’s growth in the early days that really speaks to the pioneering spirit of the city.

Funds are raised through sponsorships, in-kind donations, and sale of banquet and game tickets to the general public. Grants have been awarded by Kicks for a Cure, A Benefit for Liz’s Legacy, to fund cancer research initiatives at UNMC Eppley Cancer Center and Creighton University Hereditary Cancer Center. The research targets cancers affecting women, but is more global in its impact.

The primary purpose of the weekend is to raise awareness for women’s cancer education and prevention. It is also an opportunity to generate a broader interest in women’s collegiate athletics, and to showcase Omaha as a compassionate, vibrant community where health care, education, commerce and recreation intertwine.

His administrative background, coupled with his knowledge of the game, make Bruce one of the top women’s soccer coaches in the country.” The Jays’ success under Erickson extends beyond the playing field, as he has coached 22 MVC first-team scholar-athletes and the Bluejays have won the NSCAA College Team Academic Award each of the past nine seasons. In 2003, Krystle Campa earned CoSIDA Academic All- America honors. On the field, 14 Bluejays have earned first-team all- MVC honors during his tenure. The Erickson children: Noah, Emma and Olivia

Another example of Erickson’s eye for talent has been reflected in the hiring of quality assistant coaches. Three of his former Bluejay assistants Ileana Moschos are currently collegiate head coaches.
