At Club Rainbow, we encourage our children to express themselves and their talents in a variety of ways. One of these avenues is through art. Many volunteers have selflessly given their time and expertise to guide the children in producing paintings that we are all proud of. Here is just a small sampling of their works that will be auctioned to the higgest bidder. All proceeds will go to Club Rainbow in aid of Children suffering from cronic illnesses
