Wear Black, Give Back UNO Giving Day 2022

Wear Black, Give Back is a 24-hour day of giving to UNO to raise money for scholarships; colleges and programs; student groups and activities; inclusion and wellness; and much more!

Wear Black, Give Back officially kicks off at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 12, and will last through noon on Thursday, Oct. 13. Every gift of $5 or more will be counted toward this year’s goal of 2,500 donors. All donors of $60 or more will receive a complimentary pair of UNO knit gloves.

Besides donating, there are other ways you can support this effort:

  • Dress in black and/or take a picture with flat Durango and share what UNO means to you with the hashtag #WearBlackGiveBack.
  • Let your friends and family know how they can support the UNO causes that mean the most to them and share the givingday.unomaha.edu website.
  • Participate in the Party in the Pep Bowl on Oct. 12! The UNO Alumni Association is hosting a grill-out in the Pep Bowl from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Stop by and grab a hot dog (or vegan alternative), enjoy games, take a photo with Durango, and learn more about Wear Black, Give Back!

The College of Arts & Sciences has many programs and causes that need your support. You can find all the details on the CAS Wear Black, Give Back page.

You don’t have to wait until October to show your support. The giving has already started! Go to givingday.unomaha.edu to schedule your gift and be one of the first to show your support of CAS.
