Glow Big Red — 24 Hours of Husker Giving brings together Huskers from around the world to raise money for critical causes and needs that touch every part of the university, including student scholarships, colleges, programs and Husker Athletics. Learn more here.

Glow Big Red will begin at noon CST Feb. 11 and continue through noon CST Feb. 12, with the campus lit up in red to celebrate the giving day.

Supporters can get involved in three ways:

Show your Husker love with a gift: Alumni, faculty, staff, students and the Husker community at large are invited to give here to the area of campus they want to support. Gifts can be made any time before noon Feb. 12.
Spread the word: Show your Husker pride on social media using the hashtag #GlowBigRed and share the area of campus you’re supporting.
Earn some swag: Every donor who gives $75 or more will receive a Husker tote bag as a thank-you gift.

Across the university, there are more than 200 important causes for donors to support during the 2026 giving day. Glow Big Red started in 2019 in recognition of the university’s 150th anniversary.
