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.
Shine Bright
AUGUST 5-8, 2024
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.
