Funds raised through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.campaignfornebraska.org\" target=\"_blanK\" rel=\"noopener\">Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Possibilities<\/a> will meet high-priority opportunities and needs at the university&#8217;s four campuses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Campaign for Nebraska is a tremendous opportunity to raise the private support needed for key priorities at UNMC that, when achieved, will shape health care and benefit Nebraskans in unprecedented ways,&#8221; said UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. &#8220;We are grateful for the private support that has transformed our campus and look forward to doing even more to help Nebraskans live longer, healthier lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Campaign Nebraska is the most ambitious fundraising effort in the 73-year history of the foundation. Fundraising for the campaign began in 2005 and concludes in 2014; more than $642 million has been raised so far in gifts and pledges. <\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"260\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"3\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<TABLE border=\"1\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"5\" bgcolor=\"E8BC5A\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n<font face=\"arial\"><br \/>\n<B><br \/>\nPrevious campaigns<br \/>\n<\/B><br \/>\n<BR><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n<font face=\"arial\" size=\"2\"><br \/>\nThe campaign is the university&#8217;s third comprehensive campaign.
