Rainbows For Kids is a 501 (c) (3) Charity dedicated to helping families of children with cancer (and other serious illness.) It was started in 2000 after a family saw first hand how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be in a child. Their dedication to Annie, who was six years old when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor, led them to put on a party at Cardinal Glennon Hospital at the Bob Costas Cancer Center. It was so much fun that they decided to incorporate into a charity so they could do more, and with great community support it has grown beyond their beliefs.

Rainbows For Kids puts on fun events for the families and supports several free organziations involved with childhood cancer including Camp Rainbow. Annie loved it so much. We have produced a video called "New Hope For The 'C' Word" to give to newly diagnosed patiens.

Since Annie was sick, there have been so many new treatments and cures are being discovered every day. We want to always give out the message of hope. We never gave up on her and we aren't giving up on the kids we work with. There is always hope, miracles happen every day and so do new cures.

We feel that by giving these kids parties and activities to look forward to in the midst of all this seriousness, we are providing the families with a positive outlook. We also strive to motivate and inspire the parents not to get lost in the heartbreak of the diagnosis and stresses of the disease. We encourage them to continue living their life and make time for fun.
