Stallbaumer '18 CAMPAIGN STATUS AT A GLANCE As of May 15, 2025 CAMPAIGN GOAL $2.75 MILLION TOTAL CONTRIBUTED $2,086,110 DONOR COUNT 102 (Continued from page 1) Supporting the Brotherhood Through his Association Board membership, Mark saw firsthand how Nebraska FarmHouse alumni can band together for the future of their brotherhood. There are countless brothers he could recognize for their service, especially as the Nebraska Chapter previously led a successful campaign to build the new house. "Several alumni I would like to recognize are Steve Gangwish (NE 01) and Greg Ibach (NE 81) who served during the time my son, Jon (NE 15), was a freshman at FarmHouse. I am grateful to Ryan Downs (NE 88) for his efforts on the 2018 house fundraising campaign and this new campaign." When Mark attended Conclave, he noticed how other alumni associations support their undergraduates through scholarships. He urges fellow alumni to join the new capital campaign so the Nebraska Chapter can provide crucial support for tomorrow's brothers through scholarships and leadership development initiatives. "Marlys and I have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams, and it is important for us to pay it forward. The Nebraska Chapter was influential in my life, and we hope this will benefit the current and future membership." You can discuss the campaign with Mark at mark.freese@fcsamerica.com.
