Sponsorship Opportunities for Glow Big Red

What is Glow Big Red?

Glow Big Red is a 24-hour giving event to advance the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and we ask all Huskers, near and far, to support UNL with a gift to scholarships, colleges, programs, student organizations, inclusion, mental health and many other areas on campus. Glow Big Red is fueled by Husker passion, social media and YOU! Take this opportunity to come together in support of our university and become a sponsor of Glow Big Red today!

What your sponsorship supports

Key sponsors are critical in ensuring the success of Glow Big Red — 24 Hours of Husker Giving by growing awareness for Glow Big Red as well as by helping to secure donor support through challenge funding.

Ultimately, your sponsorship supports the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, its students and your future workforce. Sponsors can choose to support dozens of different areas at UNL and that support will, in turn, be leveraged to provide incentives for other donors to get involved and make a difference.

Your support will:

  • Increase the visibility of Glow Big Red and UNL;
  • Provide awareness of your company and its support of UNL;
  • Motivate other donors to get involved and give back to UNL;
  • Encourage community-wide engagement with trusted nonprofit organizations;
  • Demonstrate your dedication to the local nonprofit community.
