A celebration at UBT Stadium marked the end of a successful partnership between ALLO Communications, Lincoln Public Schools (LPS), and the Foundation for LPS. The collaboration focused on upgrading the athletic facilities at Northwest High School and Standing Bear High School.
Brad Moline, President & CEO of ALLO Communications, underscored the company’s commitment to community investment, rooted in its core values of connectivity and service. He emphasized ALLO’s pivotal role in providing essential telecommunications infrastructure to the city and highlighted programs such as ALLO for Education and SmartSchools, which have directly benefited students and schools across Lincoln.
“Our team is proud to support education across Nebraska, working to close the digital divide,” said Moline. “From The Bay High to Fielding Dreams, ALLO’s commitment to Lincoln’s schools is much like investing in fiber - a 30 to 50-year investment in success.”
The Foundation for LPS’ Fielding Dreams Campaign began in partnership with Lincoln Public Schools to elevate the athletic facilities at Lincoln Standing Bear and Northwest High School. Thanks to the generous support of many donors, incredible partnerships, and contributions from the 2020 school bond, over $23.6M has gone toward these spectacular facilities. The construction of turf, signage, billboards, stands, and lights has provided championship-level experiences for LPS student-athletes. Adding locker rooms in the near future will bring state-of-the-art enhancements that our students and fans deserve.
“The success of the Fielding Dreams Campaign is largely due to the dedication of our volunteers and the unwavering support of community partners,” says Dr. John Neal, Interim President of the Foundation for LPS. “By enhancing athletic facilities, we sought to provide more time, opportunity, and growth for Lincoln’s students and their families.”
As the Fielding Dreams Campaign concludes, the impact of what was achieved with community partnerships is unmistakable. These facilities now stand as a testament to what the Lincoln community can accomplish when they come together to support our students. They provide Lincoln’s young student-athletes with the resources and environment they need to thrive.
Dr. Paul Gausman, Superintendent of LPS, shared, “As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities for further collaboration. We will continue to find other opportunities for our community to rally around our student-athletes. We know that the need is always there, and the opportunities will continue to arise. We welcome the chance to partner with you on new endeavors that support our student-athletes.”
