ADOPT AN
ATHLETE

The Nebraska Sports Council offers an opportunity for low-income youth and families to take part in events such as the Cornhusker State Games and Pumpkin Run at no charge to the athlete. The average State Games entry fee is $27.  Those fees can be covered for underprivileged youth through the Adopt an Athlete Fund.

The fund is primarily fed by individual donors and a handful of corporate benefactors to help us reach our 2025 goal of $5,000, which was the approximate amount used in 2024, allowing more than 700 youths to experience the Games and/or Pumpkin Run.

All $25 donors will be recognized in the Nebraska Sports Council Yearbook and will be listed at CornhuskerStateGames.com (below). Those donating $100 or more will receive a special gift.  You can make your donation online HERE or by sending a check to the Nebraska Sports Council office (P.O. Box 29366, Lincoln, NE 68529).
