About ICON Overview The Imperial Court of Nebraska (ICON) is a unique group within a giant network of individual social and community organizations united in kinship under an umbrella of shared structure, policies and goals. Intended mostly for "camp" fun, the Court System materialized in 1965 in the legendary city of San Francisco, California. This momentous occasion gave rise to our camp titles of "Emperor & Empress, Prince & Princess", and so forth. It also ignited the signature major annual gala function - the Coronation. Among the many positive aspects of the Court, the primary goals are:

ICON History The Imperial Court of Nebraska has grandly served the community for over 20 years. Since its inception on July 15th, 1980, ICON has raised over $750,000 dollars for charities. The first few years of ICON fund-raising efforts benefited the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Jerry's Kids needed money and it was ICON to the rescue. HIV/AIDS did not hit Omaha, Nebraska, until around Reign 3. It was during this Reign that Emperor Ken Dillard and Empress Toadie Lee Marvelous started raising money to combat HIV/AIDS. Not long after, what we now know as the Nebraska AIDS Project (NAP) was born! ICON proudly continues dynamic efforts to raise money. Being one the oldest organizations in the state, we hold various fund-raising events each year to help benefit organizations such as the Nebraska AIDS Project, American Cancer Society, River City Gender Alliance, Rainbow Outreach GLBT Resource Center, Pediatric AIDS Research, P-FLAG, NGLTF, HRC, Family Pride Coalition, NAMES Project, and many, many more!
