Omaha 2013

THE HOUSE THAT HOPE BUILT NEEDS YOUR HELP! Proceeds from Wine, Women & Shoes will benefit Children’s Hospital & Medical Center’s Carolyn Scott Rainbow House. Since 1983, this community treasure has provided convenient lodging, compassionate support and a “home away from home” to thousands of parents and family members of children receiving services at Children’s who live 60 miles or more away from Omaha. Families enjoy private rooms, gathering spaces to visit and unwind and a large common kitchen and dining room. There is no formal charge to stay at the Rainbow House—just a suggested donation of $10 per night. True to Children’s mission, no one is turned away if they are not able to pay.

In response to greater demand for the Rainbow House and to honor its 30th anniversary, Children’s is planning a major renovation and expansion project to enlarge the facility—adding more rooms, better amenities, an upgraded kitchen and an indoor playground space. Your support of Wine, Women & Shoes will ensure area families have a safe haven in Omaha, as they face the burdens and fears of having a sick child.
