***POSTPONED*** 17th Annual 2024 Husker Fans Salute the Troops Weekend September 28-29, 2024
We regret to announce that we were unable to raise enough funds for the event that was planned in September and therefor have made the difficult and heart wrenching decision to cancel that event. If we are able to raise enough funds before the end of the football season to hold an event we will post it here.
We have begun raising funds for next year's event.
Our Mission
“The Husker Fans Salute the Troops Foundation is committed to Salute, Serve, and Support every Nebraska Veteran and active military personnel, to ensure that every person with Military ties in Nebraska feels welcome, appreciated and respected.”
History of Husker Fans Salute the Troops weekend
2024 marks the 17th year for Husker Salute. 2008 was our first year held during the OU game and attended by about 70 veterans and their families. Since then we have had to limit our attendance as it has grown to nearly 500 attendees. Each year we try to improve the experience and being our 17th year we are expecting it to be the best.
Registration
Donations
We cannot do this without the support of Husker fans everywhere. The “Salute” weekend provides military members a unique opportunity to spend a dream weekend around something they love. Our board's goal is to provide a weekend for the military families at no cost to them except a nominal registration fee.
Will you please help us honor the service of fellow Nebraska fans by providing funds or by donating goods and services? Any donation level is appreciated and helps our efforts.
Husker Salute is a non-profit organization that is staffed by all volunteers.
All donations are tax-exempt through Husker Salute under the 501c3 tax code.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
