GLOW BIG RED: Hunt for Herbie on Feb. 16
The hunt is on! Ten Herbies will be hidden across City and East Campus on Wednesday, February 16 as part of the GLOW BIG RED fundraiser. (Hint: One of the Herbies will be hidden close to home.) Each Herbie has a gift value assigned to it that students can designate to their preferred Glow Big Red cause. This is part of various Glow Big Red fundraising efforts. Starting noon February 16 and ending at noon February 17 the Nebraska Foundation is promoting a one-day giving event to advance the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. This event is used to fund program needs and student scholarships making higher education more equitable and attainable for everyone.
How to play:
- On Wednesday morning, the 10 Herbies will be hidden around City and East campus.
- Find a Herbie, take a photo with it, post it to Instagram or Twitter with the message, “I found Herbie! #GlowBigRed”.
- A representative will contact you to select the cause you want to receive the challenge funds.
- You get to keep the Herbie!
This is a great opportunity to capture not only Herbie but funds for your respective programs. Plus, if you know of friends or alumni who would like to donate to these programs, feel free to send them these links!
