Breakfast for Champions

May 16, 2008

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is proud to present the tenth annual Breakfast for Champions, an event dedicated to recognizing and promoting commitment to the ideals of scholarship, leadership and service in Nebraska's youth. In addition, the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben Foundation will present two scholarships at the event to former Champions who will be enrolling at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

More than 2,600 eighth-grade student leaders, representing 424 schools across the state, have been saluted for their gold-medal efforts in school and community.

Formal invitations will be mailed to honored students and parents in early April.
