“The Iowa-Nebraska football game is a great new sports rivalry, and we wanted to give football fans in both states a chance to be part of the excitement,” said Brad Waller, Hy-Vee assistant vice president of marketing projects. “When the Trophy Tour is in their area, customers can come by to view the trophy, register to win tickets and support the Red Cross by supporting their favorite teams.”
