Giving back to the Lincoln community is important to the players and staff of the Lincoln Stars organization. Through partnerships with the Nebraska Lottery and Applebee’s , the Stars helped contribute to the Lincoln Food Bank, Capital Humane Society, Autism Speaks, Star City Figure Skating Club, Lincoln Ice Hockey Association and Nebraska Children’s Home. The Stars are committed to improving the quality of their community through fundraising for charitable organizations, school and hospital visits and various community service activities.

 

 

The Lincoln Stars have participated in the Lincoln Alzheimer's walk for the past 6 years.

 

School Visits
Nearly every week of the season you will find the Stars making trips to area schools. The players participate in Q & A and talk to kids about a variety of topics like, goal setting and always trying your best. If you are interested in a school visit from the Stars, please contact the Stars’ assistant coaches at (402) 474-7827, extension 10 or 15 for more information.

Jersey Auction
Each season, the Stars partner with the Muscular Dystrophy Association for the “Jerseys Off Our Backs” Auction, sponsored by Ayars & Ayars, Inc. The one-of-a-kind, game worn jerseys are auctioned off in a live auction at the Ice Box. Winners receive the jersey signed by the player and a photo with the player. In 2007, the “Jerseys Off Our Backs” auction helped to raise over $27,000 for MDA.

Blades For Grades
This program, sponsored by the Lincoln Journal Star, allows elementary schools to reward their students for hard work and dedication with tickets to a Stars home game. Teachers may request Blades for Grades certificates to present to their students. If you are a Lincoln area teacher or principal and want to participate, please call 474-7827, extension 11 to request your certificates or for more information.

Alzheimers Memory Walk
The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the organization’s national signature event and brings together family, friends, caregivers and concerned community members — who all want to make a difference. The Lincoln Stars are proud to participate each year in this event. The players make an appearance to sign autographs and take part in the walk through Antelope Park in Lincoln.

Hospital Visits
Each season, Stars players visit local hospitals to sign autographs, pose for pictures and interact with the children. Contact the Stars’ assistant coaches at 474-7827, ext. 10 or 15 for more information or to arrange a hospital visit.

Making Spirits Bright
The holiday season is an important time for many and the Lincoln Stars are pleased to partner with 104.1 The Blaze as part of their annual “Kamp Out for Kids”. In conjunction with the Kamp Out, the Stars hold a special “Skate with the Stars” and the annual “Teddy Bear Toss”. Fans are asked to bring a new stuffed animal to a designated game that will be tossed onto the ice after the first Stars goal. The stuffed animals are donated to Lincoln Action Program. With the generous support of our fans, these events have helped to make the holidays a little brighter for Lincoln families.
