The Nebraska FFA Foundation was pleased to present Kate Kostal of the Diller-Odell FFA Chapter her very own FFA jacket.  Kostal was one of 311 students selected statewide as part of the Nebraska FFA Foundations Blue Jacket.  Bright Futures. program.

"Those that have been FFA members understand the excitement of putting on your blue jacket for the first time and wearing it proudly as you represent your chapter and state.  You wear that jacket with pride to many events and competitions as a FFA member," said Stacey Agnew, Executive Director of the Nebraska FFA Foundation.  "FFA jackets are costly and this is a great way for deserving students to apply and be selected to receive a jacket.  This program rewards and encourages members who are eager to continue Nebraska's outstanding FFA tradition."

This year's program brought in over 650 applications from members across the state and of all ages.  "We are excited to see them wear their jackets with pride, representing an outstanding legacy of youth in agriculture," Agnew said.  

Agricultural educators, former state officers, FFA officer teams and other generous contributors have come forward to support the annual campaign.  For more information about the Nebraska FFA Foundation's annual campaign, contact Stacey Agnew at 402-472-5846 or stacey@neffafoundation.org.
