Support Huskers Head to Toe and get a fun pair of socks

In celebration of the accomplishments of recent Husker graduates, supporters are invited to invest in University of Nebraska–Lincoln students, faculty and alumni during the Huskers Head to Toe campaign.

UNL will hold its annual Huskers Head to Toe campaign May 28 through June 9. Anyone who donates $66 or more to the campaign through the University of Nebraska Foundation will receive a pair of Herbie Husker socks. The socks feature the modernized Herbie Husker, introduced last year to mark the iconic mascot’s 50th year.

Supporters can follow the Huskers Head to Toe campaign and contribute here. Donors can direct their gift to any of three N Funds and celebrate the countless people who make UNL a truly unique campus.

• N Fund – Student Scholarships: A gift to this fund will support students by providing scholarships recognizing academic excellence and financial need. The scholarships are awarded through UNL’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. 

• N Fund – Faculty Support: A gift to this fund will support priority needs related to faculty and staff development.

• N Fund – Nebraska Alumni Association (NAA): A gift to this fund will support the NAA’s areas of greatest need and advance its mission to promote the achievements and aspirations of the university by engaging Husker students, alumni and friends.

Gifts to the Huskers Head to Toe campaign will support Only in Nebraska: A Campaign for Our University’s Future, a historic effort to engage 150,000 benefactors to give $3 billion to support University of Nebraska students, faculty, academic and clinical programs and research to address the needs of the state.
