Today (July 24) would have been Jack’s 99th birthday!
One way we’re celebrating is by announcing a 3rd scholarship: “The Jack R. Snider Freshman Band Scholarship”. This will be in the amount of $750.00 based on a student’s financial need. And, thanks to your donations, we have also been able to increase the two established marching band awards to $750.00 each.
However, we need your help to keep these scholarships supported through your continued generosity.
Please take a moment or two and make a donation. Any amount is welcomed and appreciated. But, if you need some help deciding on an amount, consider one of the following “suggestions”:
| 7/24/1921 | The day Jack was born…so $7.00, $24.00 or $19.00 or $21.00 (or $1,921…) |
| 1952 | Jack started teaching at UNL…. $52.00 |
| 1961 | Jack began leading the UNL: Marching Band…$61.00 |
| 1962 | Jack took the marching band to the Gotham Bowl…$62.00 |
| 1963 | Jack’s first of many Orange bowl appearances…$63.00 |
| 1972 | The band goes “co-ed” …. $72.00 |
| 1973 | Orange Bowl Sousa show, featuring a 60-yard-long American Flag, the first of this size on a football field… $73.00 |
| 1974 | Jack took the band to Europe…$74.00 |
| 2020 | Jack would have been 99 today…$99.00 |
