"I want to congratulate the Nebraska Sports Council for again sponsoring N-Lighten Nebraska.  This is a worthwhile wellness initiative that has proven its value in the past by helping thousands of Nebraskans improve their exercise and eating habits by promoting healthful and active lifestyles. As Nebraska’s Senator I can truthfully say that having healthier Nebraskans is not only good for our state but it’s a way to help hold down health care and insurance costs. Keep up the good work."

"The N-Lighten program provides Nebraskans with an opportunity to participate in a positive, team-focused approach to better health. The program’s supportive environment encourages exercise and good eating habits that will help Nebraskans enjoy longer and healthier lives."

"Nebraskans are independent-minded folks who love a challenge. The N-Lighten program offers a competitive but non-threatening way to make weight loss and exercise into attainable group goals. By working together, these teams have an opportunity to set the tone for a healthier Nebraska."

"The N-Lighten program's team approach to exercise and good eating habits is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. What a great service to Nebraskans. Congratulations on your innovative program and commitment to our great state."
