The University of Nebraska athletic department has partnered with Fanatics, Best of Big Red, Lincoln Scheels and local retailers to raise money for tornado relief efforts.
Fans can purchase “Nebraska Together” apparel at husters.com or Best of Big Red Lincoln locations beginning Tuesday. Shirts can be pre-ordered from bestofbigred.com.
“One thing I know growing up in the Midwest is neighbors are always willing to help neighbors,” Troy Dannen, Nebraska's newly minted athletic director, said in a press release, as reported by KOLN. “This is a great time to rally for those in need. We are happy to play a small part in assisting Nebraskans through this difficult time.”
On April 26, tornados tore through Iowa and parts of Nebraska, including Lincoln, destroying homes and injuring several people.
Nebraska will donate royalties and all proceeds will go directly to the Red Cross to assist local relief efforts. In April 2019, a similar project provided $75,000 of support for flood relief in the state, and Nebraska Athletics is hopeful that Husker fans can make a similar impact.
Apparel will start at $25.
