The Community Partner Award recognizes significant involvement by a community group or organization for its contributions to Madonna’s core values and commitment to patient independence.
For many years, Nebraska Husker players, coaches and administrators have been regular visitors to patients recovering at Madonna. Entire teams have adopted patients both during and after their stay, and have often invited them on campus and given behind-the-scenes access that regular Husker fans only dream of.
“We value the longstanding partnership with Madonna which has been mutually beneficial—teaching our student athletes incredible life perspective while providing hope and encouragement to determined patients,” said Keith Zimmer, senior associate athletic director-Life Skills and N Club.
