Difference-Makers Days

Saturday, January 18 – Monday, January 20, 10am – 5pm

Learn about pioneering individuals who have left their mark on STEM and conservation fields over the years while supporting United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland (UBF), an organization making a positive impact on the Black communities in Northeast Ohio today. In addition to highlighting the achievements of African American innovators, during Difference-Makers Days (Saturday, January 18 – Monday, January 20, 2025, 10am – 5pm) the Aquarium is discounting same-day admission by $7 per person for every person donating at least $1 to United Black Fund during MLK Day Weekend.

UBF actively engages with grass roots agencies tackling important issues around race, equity, inclusion, poverty, mental health, violence, education and workforce development in Greater Cleveland.  Throughout the weekend, Difference-Makers Days guests have an opportunity to meet UBF team members and learn about their vision for sustainable development and shared prosperity.

Can’t visit during Difference-Makers Days? Anyone interested in giving is encouraged to visit unitedblackfund.org and/or “Text to Give” by sending UBF to 50155.

Every guest donating $1 or more to UBF at the Aquarium during the Difference-Makers Days celebration receives $7 off same-day admission. 

Those attending Difference-Makers Days should wait to purchase admission in-person on the day of their visit.
