About Wear Black, Give Back: UNO Giving Day

WEAR BLACK, GIVE BACK is a 24-hour day of giving to the University of Nebraska at Omaha to raise money for scholarships, colleges and programs, student groups and activities, inclusion and wellness, and much more! The day starts at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 8, and lasts through noon on Thursday, Oct. 9.

This year could be the biggest giving day yet. UNO has a goal to receive 6,500 gifts during the 24-hour day of giving, and if this happens, we'll receive a $350,000 gift from an anonymous donor to support UNO student scholarships. EVERY gift of $5 or more to ANY area will help achieve this milestone. We need you! Colleges, programs and causes at UNO also have their own challenges and goals you can help achieve. It's an ambitious goal, but if anyone can do it, it's you, Mavericks! With so many important areas to support at UNO, we hope you will find and donate to the cause that means the most to you.

Additionally, every donor of $75 or more will receive an exclusive UNO belt bag!

WEAR BLACK: On Oct. 8 wear your UNO apparel with pride, and tell your friends, family and colleagues to do so as well! Share your spirit on social media with the hashtag #WearBlackGiveBack.

GIVE BACK: Make a gift of $5 or more during this 24-hour period and help reach the 6,500-gift goal!
