UNMC invites its supporters to give back during UNMC Giving Day \u2014 For the Greater Good on March 30-31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNMC\u2019s first-ever virtual day of giving will unite alumni, students, faculty, staff, friends and grateful patients from around the globe to fuel the workforce and future of health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To honor UNMC\u2019s founding in 1869, the philanthropic event will last for 1,869 minutes (about 31 hours). The day will start at 10 a.m. March 30 and conclude at 5 p.m. March 31. The goal is to receive 1,000 gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The giving day will advance UNMC by supporting scholarships, colleges, student organizations and UNMC\u2019s clinical partners and institutions. Nebraska Medicine, UNMC\u2019s primary clinical partner, is participating in the giving event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUNMC is committed to enhancing the quality of life of Nebraskans and those around the world,\u201d said UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD. \u201cThe inaugural UNMC Giving Day \u2014 For the Greater Good represents an opportunity for UNMC supporters to come together in support of our students and campus.
