The colder weather is a reminder that many of our kids in school don't have the warm winter clothing they need. For the next three weeks, please consider helping us "Clothes the Gap" by donating new or gently used items in all student sizes K-12. Contact your United Real Estate Solutions, Inc. associate to donate or drop items off at our offices in Sioux City & Dakota Dunes.

• Johnny Rodgers – Nebraska’s first Heisman winner in 1972 who led the Huskers to the first two national titles in school history (1970 and 1971)
• Mike Rozier – 1983 Heisman Trophy Winner, rushing for over 2,000 yards on one of the most prolific offenses of all time
• Eric Crouch – 2001 Heisman Trophy Winner, breaking multiple school records during his time with the Nebraska Cornhuskers
• Tommie Frazier – 1993-1995 Nebraska Cornhusker quarterback who led the Huskers to national championships in 1994 and 1995
• Ricky Simmons – Nebraska Cornhusker wide receiver from 1979-1983
• Jay Foreman – Nebraska Cornhusker linebacker and NFL player for the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and New York Giants
The football greats will golf alongside event participants. Limited foursome spots and sponsorship opportunities are still available. Lunch will be provided before the shotgun start and a brief awards ceremony will immediately follow the event.

Sioux City Public Schools Foundation is once again launching its “Clothes the Gap” campaign to collect clothes and personal hygiene items for families in our district. A collection box will be delivered to each school building office.
While out shopping after Thanksgiving look for the following items being collected: new or gently used winter gear such as coats, hats, gloves/mittens, boots, sweaters, and long pants for toddlers, youth, and teens along with personal hygiene items. The campaign will go through December 16 at which time the Foundation will pick up the collection boxes.

Thank you Central Bank for your continued support of our students through our “Back to School Back Pack Program”. Jon Saylor , Vice President Central Bank, presents a check to Skip Perley, CEO Thompson Electric & President of the Sioux City Public Schools Foundation Board of Directors for school supplies.
