SPOTLIGHT EVENT

University of Nebraska | Only In Nebraska

ONLY IN NEBRASKA TAKES FLIGHT

The Only in Nebraska fundraising campaign kickoff transformed an aircraft hangar into an unforgettable, high-energy experience. From Native American drummers kicking off the night to musical performances by star alumni, the event was packed with moments that wowed.

The stage was backed by a custom designed Nebraska-shaped LED wall with 20’ projection screens on either side to showcase the speakers and/or provide supporting graphics, images, and campaign messaging. Witness the venue transformation here.

Guests heard from top experts, heartwarming scholarship stories, and a game-changing speech by a cancer researcher that inspired a major gift the very next day, proving that Advancement Resources is known for creating experiences that guests don’t just attend—but move them to action.

“When we hired Advancement Resources for our campaign kickoff – we didn’t just hire a vendor, we hired a partner. The Advancement Resources team took time to get to know, understand and become a part of our community, our University system that spans our state. And they listened. They listened to what we wanted to do, what we were trying to do, and also what we were struggling with and came up with a plan that helped to guide us through the entire two year planning process, execution of a successful public campaign launch and beyond. They showed up and showed us that they care about our success by bringing their extensive experience and expertise to our project. Advancement Resources is one of the big reasons we were able to have such a great kickoff for ‘Only in Nebraska’ our largest campaign to date.”
