| NTC Golfs for TeamMates: Adrian Fiala, voice of
the Huskers, hosted this annual event which raised money for Tom
Osborne's Teammates program. The TeamMates Mentoring Program currently
provides a mentor for over 3,000 youth across Nebraska and Iowa.
The goal of the program is to see youth graduate from high school and
pursue post-secondary education. To reach this goal, youth meet one hour
per week with a caring adult who serves as a mentor. Mentors are
volunteers from the community who have dedicated themselves to making a
difference in the life of a young person. Mentors give youth a sense of
hope, purpose and vision.
NTC had two teams.The team made up of John Placek-Parker Hannifan, Lyn
Worner-ABF, Jay Utterback-Orthman's, Bob Schneider-NTC and
ex-Husker--Jon Hesse took second place. Tom Osborne was there as well as
Husker legends, Jeff Kinney, Joe Blahak, Bill Janssen and many more.
