FARMHOUSE FRATERNITY Nebraska Chapter / University of Nebraska-Lincoln www.nebraskafarmhouse.org Fall 2017 T he Next Hundred Years of Building Men campaign is drawing to a close. We have raised $3,989,619 toward our $4.5 million fundraising goal. Due to the support of numerous alumni, parents, and friends, construction is in full swing on our chapter house and the result is sure to be spectacular. No doubt that our project is already making a huge impact on recruitment. New members are excited about the prospect of living in a brand-new, state-of-the-art house. Our brotherhood is strong; they support each other and encourage each other to be better men. As we look back over the past three years at our capital campaign, we have been not only impressed but inspired by the tireless work of our housing association and campaign board. Coupled with that was the dedication and financial support of our alumni and undergraduates to secure a sound and safe fraternity house for members to live in during their college years. Truly, without the loyal support of our members who contributed dollars early on, our project wouldn't be possible. So, to the 516 of our membership that has already contributed or pledged to the capital campaign, we extend a hearty thank-you! THOUGH CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN, NEED TO FINISH STRONG AND REACH FUNDRAISING GOAL We are more than thrilled with the support we've received. However, as construction costs have risen, it is imperative we finish our campaign strong. Pledges are still needed to cover the entire project cost. For those of you who have given generously, you have made our success possible. If you are able, please consider extending that pledge another year or making an additional contribution. For those of you who have not given, we appreciate any amount you feel you can give toward this important project. Every dollar counts to help us reach our fundraising goal of $4.5 million. CAMPAIGN ENDING DECEMBER 31— DEADLINE FAST APPROACHING The campaign is ending December 31, 2017. Time is almost up in helping out with this campaign. All donors pledging at least $5,000 by December 31 will see their names on a prominently displayed plaque in the chapter house. Remember, we have a five-year pledge program to stretch your gift to its full potential, and you can make your gift tax deductible through the FarmHouse Foundation. Many of our brothers have used these programs to make a larger gift. Use the pledge form enclosed to make your pledge today. Your support makes a big difference and we thank you. Please come to Lincoln this year to see your dollars at work. Fraternally, Raise the Barn Chairmen Larry L.
