The Great98 Legacy License Plate online auction of 2024, put on by the University of Nevada, Reno Alumni Association reached its $100,000 goal.
The Great98 auction, which began in October 2023, auctions off 98 UNR sesquicentennial license plates to help support student scholarships and the University's on-campus Pack Provisions food pantry.
Supporters of the event are encouraged to make a one time tax deductible donation of at least $1000 from each plate to the two programs.
The Nevada Alumni association says that half of the funds raised go to student scholarships and the other half goes towards Pack Provisions food pantry.
The food pantry is a free resource which provides UNR students, faculty and staff with various types of food, meal swipes, grocery funds, school supplies, hygiene items and more.
Nevada Alumni says although the online auction is closed, University sesquicentennial plates are still available for purchase at the Nevada DMV until October 1, 2024 and a portion of the initial fee and annual renewal of the plates will support Pack Provision.
