After winning the 2021 Inaugural Kids First Cup, OMG Inc. illustrated their continued dedication to our shared purpose by positively impacting their local community and putting “kids first.” This year OMG hosted a soccer camp for 40 kids of OMG employees and their local community to enjoy. The camp’s curriculum focused on our Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, and Commitment, with many campers receiving certificates when they exhibited the core values. The week also included a competitive and spirited staff soccer game. OMG positively impacted 757 kids through our Sponsorship program, coaching relationships, and camp. OMG’s sponsorship awards provided $10,000 and eight active coaches to the communities around OMG.

“Through our Sponsorship and Coaching Programs, our employees have positively impacted over 2,500 children in our local communities in a dozen sports and competitive programs that include robotics, mountain biking, cheerleading, soccer, baseball, special needs programs, and more.” said Warren Lichtenstein, Steel Partners Executive Chairman. “OMG stood out again this year, and I am extremely proud to award them their second Kids First Cup. Thank you to all our employees who participated in our sponsorship, coaching, and camp programs. We look forward to expanding our positive impact in 2023.”
