KOLN/KGIN's Commitment to Public Service
KOLN/KGIN-Television believes the broadcasting of Public Service Announcements is an important service to the citizens and communities in our viewing area.  Each year we donate production and airtime to different organizations that promote programs, activities, or services of governmental agencies or nonprofit organizations all in the effort of helping people.  The following are just a few of the organizations we help every year.  If your organization would like to propose a Public Service Project to KOLN/KGIN-TV, please CLICK HERE to fill out our online form.
Can Care-a-Van
Every June, Ch. 10/11 hits the road for the Can Care-a-Van, a mobile food drive aimed at fighting hunger on a local level. Since 1988, Ch. 10/11 has collected over 2.5 million pounds of food for Nebraska families in need.

Celebrate Smart
During the winter holidays and during the spring season of prom and graduation, Ch. 10/11 reminds people to “Celebrate Smart” by drinking responsibly. Public Service Announcements discourage underage drinking, and encourage designated drivers.

Child Advocacy Center
As part of our Against the Violence initiative, Ch. 10/11 partners with Lincoln’s Child Advocacy Center each year to produce an in-depth series about the Center and its efforts to combat child abuse in our community. 10/11 anchors broadcast live from a benefit concert at SouthPointe Pavilions to culminate the project and raise money to help the Center.

Friendship Home
10/11 produced and airs a Public Service Announcement for the Friendship Home encouraging support for women and children affected by domestic abuse. PSAs for the Friendship Home’s various fundraisers (Scramble for Safety, Safe Quarters) were also created and aired. In addition, an informational video was produced for the Friendship Home’s annual “Heart of the Matter” luncheon to thank donors for their support.

Golden Apple
Each May, KOLN/KGIN TV honors some of Nebraska’s outstanding teachers with the 10/11 Golden Apple Awards. Teachers are nominated by their students. The winning teachers receive trophies and on-air recognition during Ch. 10/11’s newscasts.

Heartland United Way
Last year, gifts to the United Way enabled the 17 supported agencies to serve over 65,000 people in Hall, Hamilton, Howard, and Merrick counties. Ch. 10/11 stands by their efforts by producing an informational video as part of the HUW’s annual fundraising campaign. In addition, Ch. 10/11 produces and airs Public Service Announcements for the Heartland United Way and several of its supported agencies.

Nebraska Sports Council
10/11 supports the Nebraska Sports Council each year by donating airtime to promote the N-Lighten program, as well as the Cornhusker State Games. 10/11 News also broadcasts live from the Opening Ceremonies of the Cornhusker State Games each year.

Scholar Athlete Salute
Throughout the Girls and Boys Nebraska State High School Basketball Championships, Ch. 10/11 honors Nebraska high school students who excel not only in sports, but also in the classroom.
