Omaha Children's Museum Rainbow Connectors Guild

The Rainbow Connectors Guild is an active group of enthusiastic, hardworking and committed volunteers dedicated to the advancement and growth of Omaha Children’s Museum. With over 200 members this group takes pride in pursuing the mission of the museum by conducting fundraising and friend-raising projects throughout the year.

The Rainbow Connectors Guild's largest fundraiser, “For the Kids Benefit,” is held on the first Saturday of May. In 2007, over $175,000 was raised for the museum! To date, the group has been instrumental in presenting the museum with a contribution of close to $1.5 million.
