Budget Blinds Of Lincoln Supports CASA
Budget Blinds Of Lincoln has supported CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) for the past 10 years. Since doing a solo benefit climb of Mt Kilimanjaro for the organization in 2010, John Mackenzie, owner of Budget Blinds of Omaha & Lincoln, organized a 5.8K Run to Benefit CASA (5.8K - the height of Kilimanjaro) to further raise awareness and money for CASA.

Budget Blinds of Lincoln donated two heaping pickup truck loads of new blinds to Least of My Brethren which works to help the homeless in the Omaha Metro to get a meal, get an apartment, and find a job.
Nebraska CASA Association
Our owner John MacKenzie was recently elected to serve a 3 year term on the board of Nebraska CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children). John has supported CASA since he did a benefit climb of Mt Kilimanjaro for them 10 years ago. John and the entire team support the vital work CASA does in protecting our children from abuse and neglect. In fact a portion of every residential sale of our window treatments goes to NE CASA.
