We are thrilled to announce that the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center and the Lincoln Community Learning Centers have secured a $95K grant to expand fitness and sports programs for middle schoolers. Our proposal titled "Get in the Game: Expanding opportunities and establishing a model for youth fitness and sports in Nebraska" was one of seven proposals selected to receive funding. This funding is a direct result of the We Give Blood drive competition, made possible by an award from Abbott and the Big Ten Conference. It is a powerful example of how corporate giving and community collaboration can directly translate into tangible benefits for youth health and well-being.
