Rainbow Days is Turning 40!
As 2022 begins, we are thrilled to be kicking off Rainbow Days' 40th anniversary year!

Rainbow Days has been serving children and youth in adversity since 1982. Forty years ago, our founder, Cathey Brown, had a vision to provide emotional support and teach valuable life skills to young children of alcoholics so they could learn to better cope with life's challenges and break cycles.

Over four decades, Rainbow Days' mission has grown to provide these critical coping skills and resilience to kids facing a variety of adverse circumstances and help them build more positive futures for themselves.
In the upcoming months, stay tuned for exciting milestone announcements and ways you can join in the celebrations all year long!

Community Connection Spotlight:
Feel Good Friday
Rainbow Days' Community Connection team is pleased to have been selected by the Junior League of Dallas as one of this year’s Provisional Project beneficiaries!

This spring, 25 Junior League volunteers will work on Rainbow Days’ "Feel Good Friday" project benefiting John Carpenter Elementary. Each week for six Fridays beginning in March, every student and staff member at the school will receive a cellophane-wrapped goody bag with a handwritten note of encouragement attached. Feel Good Friday is intended to provide joyful weekly anticipation and a personalized heartfelt touch from Rainbow Days to encourage and support the entire school community.
Family Connection Spotlight:
"Holiday in the Park" at Six Flags
This holiday season, Rainbow Days was incredibly grateful to receive a generous gift of hundreds of tickets to Six Flags Over Texas' "Holiday in the Park" season donated by Mary Kay, Inc., a longtime partner and supporter of our mission and the children we serve.

Thanks to Mary Kay's generosity, Rainbow Days was thrilled to be able to distribute tickets to hundreds of families served through partnerships with local shelters, transitional living sites and schools. Additionally, Rainbow Days' Family Connection team had the pleasure of hosting a family outing at Six Flags on Dec. 26 that was attended by a small group of mothers and children living at a local partnering shelter. None of the families had ever been to Six Flags before, which made for a wonderful day full of new experiences, thrilling adventures and positive family bonding time!
Thank you to our friends at Mary Kay for your continued support, generosity and thoughtfulness!
