Crew Foundation Donations

As Alums, we know that when we rowed, we did it for more than ourselves. We pulled for the gal or guy in front of us. We knew that they were relying on us to finish the race, regardless of how hard it was. All of us succeeded together. Or none of us did.  It was about the greater whole. The team. It was more about the name on the front of the boat “Nebraska” than any one individual. We learned valuable lessons from our days behind the oar. We can also help pay these lessons forward to this year’s team.

Please consider making a tax-deductible gift through the University of Nebraska Foundation.
