Pioneer deepens its commitment to support everyday heroes as the title sponsor of the “Heroes Game” between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Iowa Hawkeyes this fall. The 2026 Pioneer Heroes Game will continue the rich tradition of recognizing and celebrating local heroes who exemplify the goal of positively impacting their community and inspiring others. One citizen-hero from each state and team will be selected and honored at the Pioneer Heroes Game in Iowa City. “That’s why we’re excited to continue sponsoring the annual Heroes Game – honoring those local heroes that live and work in the communities Pioneer serves every day is one small way we can express our appreciation.” Pioneer, a current partner of both the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Iowa Hawkeyes, is a multi-year title sponsor of the Heroes Game.
