I can’t help but smile when I see a young person

in a blue jacket.

When I see a young Nebraskan in a blue corduroy jacket—standing tall and proudly displaying the name of their community—I get excited about the future of our communities, our state and our nation. I know that FFA is preparing our young people with the intelligence, integrity and values they need to become our next generation of leaders.

I am honored to lead the Nebraska FFA Foundation because the Foundation is helping FFA build young leaders, inspire young entrepreneurs and strengthen the future of agriculture and agribusiness in our state. The money raised by the Foundation is invested in the youth of Nebraska, the best investment possible.

Your contribution to the Foundation is an investment in possibilities and potential. If you were an FFA student, you understand the return on that investment. I know that, in some way, your FFA experience has had and continues to have a positive impact on you.

I urge you to register with the Nebraska FFA Foundation in order that you can receive the latest updates about what is happening in Nebraska FFA. I also ask you to consider a tax-deductible gift to the Nebraska FFA Foundation. By doing so, you’ll have another reason to smile when you see a young Nebraskan wearing a distinctive blue jacket—the jacket of an FFA member.

Thank you.

Keith Olsen, President
Nebraska FFA Foundation
