This week, Disney Supplier Diversity hosted 48 Black-owned businesses from the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE) at Walt Disney World Resort to experience hands-on, experiential learning opportunities to help stakeholders thrive in today’s dynamic business environment. We are excited to announce that we have also renewed our investment to RICE for the third consecutive year and have expanded our support to sponsor the development of Digital RICE, a virtual platform that will broaden the nonprofit’s reach to benefit entrepreneurs nationwide. These newest investments bring our total contribution to over $1 million to date, solidifying Disney as the lead sponsor of both RICE initiatives. Our support of the RICE is just one of the many ways Disney supports small businesses and benefits from an exchange of diverse and innovative perspectives. #RICEatDisney
