You can Wear Black and Give Back to help the campus reach its goal this year of 2,500 gifts of $5 or more during the 24-hour period when gifts are made at givingday.unomaha.edu.
Participants are encouraged to wear their UNO apparel with pride and share why they give back on social media using #WearBlackGiveBack.

“As our Maverick fans know, the support of a passionate crowd can help get us to victory,” UNO Chancellor Joanne Li said. “If we all pitch in together, with your help we can raise money for scholarships, colleges, programs, students group activities, and so much more. Today is about Mavericks helping Mavericks. Every day, but especially today, wear black and give back.”
