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!

Mavericks across the country can show their spirit, wear their black UNO gear, and post to social media with the hashtag #WearBlackGiveBack.
