Amaizin’!  We are already half-way to our goal for Operation Cornbread because of many generous donors.  Our two to one match is still on for the month of June and July - every dollar you donate to Operation Cornbread becomes three.

There are so many ways to get involved, from being a Shuckin’ Husker, to hosting a Sisters Flix movie party, to asking your employers to join the Corn Crop Circle, to having your donation matched.
