ALLO Sponsors Nebraska Greats Volume 1 Book
“Just like ALLO connects Husker Nation, their support will help get this book published and support TeamMates Mentoring and The Nebraska Greats Foundation.”
– Phil Whitmarsh, Co-founder and Chief Navigator at Redbrush
Coming in 2024 to a coffee table near you – Nebraska Greats & Teammates; Profiles of Husker Volleyball Heroes– a book showcasing Nebraska’s Volleyball players through history. Celebration is an understatement when it comes to the legacies of Nebraska’s former athletes, and ALLO is committed to supporting the Greats in our own backyard by eagerly joining the team as the corporate sponsor of this first volume.
“Just like ALLO connects Husker Nation, their support will help get this book published and support TeamMates Mentoring and The Nebraska Greats Foundation,” says Phil Whitmarsh, Co-founder and Chief Navigator at Redbrush, a local publishing services company. “ALLO’s support is really what’s made this project get its start this season, instead of waiting until next year.”
The title will feature 20 Nebraska Volleyball favorites through in-depth interviews, photographs, and conference film highlights. Nebraska fans will get an inside look at each players’ personal sports careers and lives, both at Nebraska and beyond. The book will do good while featuring the greats – a portion of sales will support TeamMates Mentoring and The Nebraska Greats Foundation.
Volume 1 is just the beginning of a larger initiative to feature the best of Husker Nation across several sports and has the support of Nebraska Athletics and Athletic Director, Trev Alberts. We’re ALLO ‘bout being local and supporting the athletes that inspire Nebraskans year after year and we are overwhelmingly excited for the release of Volume 1.
