Rainbows For Kids has three areas of focus: entertaining the kids and families, supporting cancer related charities and research projects in hopes for a cure, and operating the Rainbow Prayer Chain, where volunteers pray for those who need prayers. Our main source of revenue is an annual Fundraiser, either a Trivia Night or the Rainbows for Kids Gala. The more money we raise, the more activities and services for the families can be planned. Some activities recently put on for the families are: a baseball team for the kids, bowling parties, Mom's Spa Day, and hospital parties. Cancer can cause people to lose their jobs because they have to take their children to treatment, so Rainbows for Kids has also been able to help some of the families on an "emergency" basis with paying their house payment or the electric company. Rainbows For Kids is there to help any family of a child with cancer or another serious illness in the St. Louis area in any way possible. Aside from the many parties and events we sponsor for the children and their families, Rainbows For Kids supports several free camps and organizations. Annie was invited to attend Camp Rainbow, a free camp for kids with cancer, and because she loved it so much, Rainbows For Kids began supporting Camp Rainbow. |
