The Nebraska Bookstore kicked off its “Tickets For Veterans” program on Thursday, giving an opportunity for Husker football ticket holders to donate their tickets to Nebraska veterans for the NU-Kansas State game Nov. 12 in Lincoln.
The program celebrates the 75th anniversary of Veteran’s Day.
“Many of us have family, friends and co-workers who are veterans or know a veteran,” Barry Major, chief operating officer of Nebraska Book Company, said in a prepared statement. “Needless to say, we owe these men and women a great deal. With 160,000 veterans in the state, several with ties to our company, we feel ‘Tickets For Veterans’ is one small way we can collectively say ‘Thank you’ to those who have, and continue, to serve our country.”
The program includes the following:
--Up to two tickets to the game.
--A pregame luncheon for veterans to attend in the Nebraska Bookstore tent at the Husker Nation Pavilions.
--A 50 percent discount on all merchandise at the store on game day.
Ticket donors and veterans interested in taking part in the program can donate or register by going to Nebraska Bookstore at 13th & Q streets, calling the store at (800) 627-0047 or going to www.nebraskabookstore.com and clicking on the “Tickets For Veterans” icon.
