Husker Greats Big Red Runway

Location :

Throughout history, nearly every civilization and culture has revered athletes. They epitomize the full realization of human potential, both physical and mental. They give us something to collectively cheer for as their competitive fire stokes something deep within ourselves. They unite us, in victory as well as defeat, with a common sense of pride, purpose and resolve.

Perhaps nowhere in the world is the love of sport and its practitioners greater than in Nebraska. Our legendary loyalty to our beloved collegiate teams proves that the word “fan” is indeed a shortened form of “fanatic.” This loyalty extends far beyond the fields of play, unbounded by time. For once you have represented the state of Nebraska, once you have demonstrated your sacrifice and heart, once you have thrilled us with feats few of us dared dream possible—then you are forever a member of our family.

Like all families, trouble strikes its individual members from time to time. And when those times occur, we want to be there to lend a hand. Because that’s what family does. From this desire, the Husker Greats Foundation was born.

The Husker Greats Foundation has one clear and simple mission: to help former Nebraska collegiate athletes in their times of medical need. Founded and run by former Husker athletes, the Foundation directly funds the medical services and products needed by our recipients. By lessening or even eliminating the financial burden of medical care, our fellow former athletes can focus on healing their bodies, minds and lives.

As a non-profit, 501c3 organization, all donations to the Husker Greats Foundation are tax deductible. We hope you will join us as we try to bring healing and happiness to those who, through the years, brought so much happiness to us all.
