From the Sandhills to Creighton: A tradition of giving

Amid the windswept Nebraska Sandhills, the members of the O'Kief family have been devoted stewards of the land for over a century. Their legacy of hard work and commitment to conservation at the O'Kief Brothers Ranch now extends beyond ranching. As part of their family estate plan, they named Creighton as a beneficiary, including generously donating cattle and funds to establish and support a scholarship.
