Elevating Minority-Owned Businesses
Omaha Children’s Museum (OCM) had a spooktacular time on Saturday, October 28th, as it hosted a thrilling ‘Trunk or Treat’ event that wasn’t just about candy and costumes but also about celebrating and elevating minority-owned businesses. Approximately 1,000 museum guests had the opportunity to attend the event, which not only delighted our visitors but also served as a testament to OCM’s commitment to promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) in our community.
