Glow Big Red

On February 16 and 17, the Raikes School participated in Glow Big Red – 24 hours of Husker giving led by the NU Foundation. This year's challenge donor was Raikes School Corporate Advisory Board member, Coleman Fung. Coleman has funded the Fung Institute at Berkeley. He believes Nebraska and the Raikes School have the tools to be the best place for an entrepreneurial learning experience.

Coleman challenged cohorts to come together and support their own cohort fund. Cohorts who reached a 20% participation rate in Glow Big Red had $2,500 added to their cohort’s fund. Additionally, the alumni cohort with the highest participation percentage and dollar amount contributed received a special prize package.

During Glow Big Red, the Raikes School raised over $14,000 from 91 donors. We exceed Coleman’s challenge of 60 donors and therefore unlocked Coleman’s additional $50,000 donation to the Raikes School! Cohort 2017 won the highest dollar amount contributed and Cohort 2016 won the highest participation percentage. The Raikes School sends a huge thank you to Coleman Fung for his generosity, and to alumni, family members, friends, and all who contributed to the Raikes School during Glow Big Red!
