Local McDonald’s across Nebraska join the Huskers to host Big Red Friday - a one day fundraiser across the state in support of Nebraska's only Ronald McDonald House. 

Big Red Friday is an annual event that occurs on the Friday before the first Huskers’ football game of the season.

Today, Friday, August 26 Big Red Friday flags are being sold for $5 at more than 70 McDonald's restaurants across Husker nation. Proceeds from Big Red Friday have raised more than $130,000 for RMHC in Omaha since the fundraiser started in 2017.

This year's flag design celebrates the Blackshirts, bringing back tradition and Husker pride.

Limited-edition Husker flags are available at all McDonald's restaurants in Nebraska while supplies last.
