UWM is partnering with Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium for a special evening at the Zoo on Tuesday, July 30. This private, invite-only event – for people directly impacted by the storms and first responders/media who sprang into action during and after the storms – was created for people to come together, enjoy the Zoo and create new memories.Also, those who suffered damage and loss from the devastating storms will be invited to shop from a selection of free clothes, snacks, toys and more – all generously provided by many community partners.
Every child deserves to feel confident and ready to learn at school. However, for many this is not the case. Thousands of local students across the metro are lacking essential hygiene items like soap, shampoo, conditioner, clean clothes and dental products, which impact their health, academics and confidence. You can help these children by participating in Shine Bright.
7:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast
8 – 9 a.m. Community Impact Panel Discussion
To celebrate the caring spirit and generous support of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro – we are excited to kick off United Way of the Midlands’ 2024 campaign, led by Randy and Candace Wood with Lindsay Corporation.
We know you won’t want to miss this special opportunity to gather and connect with fellow community members – while hearing inspiring stories of how your giving spirit is impacting the metro with a special panel discussion, moderated by KETV‘s Jack Keenan.
To celebrate the difference you’re making in our community and to kick off our 2024 Campaign, please join us for one of our Campaign Workshops. At these events, you will have the opportunity to hear from Pat Corrigan, CEO of ACCESSbank, who will talk about leadership donor giving and ways he encourages giving. We will also hear from panelists, who will share tips about running a campaign.
UWM will provide an overview of what it means to be a funded partner. This includes review of grant agreements, initial reporting, upcoming key dates, as well as a preview of the funding essentials summit in August. The webinar will be recorded.
