It’s time to Wear Black and Give Back, Mavericks!

UNO’s 24-hour day of giving is Oct. 8–9 from noon to noon! 

Last year, a record $907,396 was raised during the 24-hour campaign, including $22,932 donated to the UNO Alumni Association. Gifts to the UNO Alumni Association fund help keep membership free while offering professional development programs, networking opportunities, social events, discounts on insurance and travel, scholarships to future UNO alumni and more!  

This year, UNOAA has a goal to receive 300 donations and raise a total of $30,000. Will you help us reach this goal?  

Here’s how you can help:  

  • WEAR BLACK: Wear your UNO apparel with pride! Share your spirit on social media with the hashtag #WearBlackGiveBack.  

  • GIVE BACK: Make a gift to the UNO Alumni Association fund
