Sponsor A Fundraiser

The Rainbow Connection hosts four annual events each year to raise funds to make dreams come true for Michigan children with life threatening illnesses. Become a sponsor for one or more of our annual events and help make dreams come true.

Sponsoring The Rainbow Connection events provides an opportunity for companies to showcase their support in a highly visible way while helping us continue our mission to make dreams come true.

Bowling for Wishes – January
This annual fun family event in Macomb County provides opportunities for title sponsorship, lane sponsorship and scoreboard sponsors too!

Walk for Kids – May / June
This annual one mile walk around beautiful downtown Rochester Municipal Park was created at the request of our wish families looking for a low cost way to increase the awareness of The Rainbow Connection and raise money to help make dreams come true. Folks from all over Michigan come to share The Rainbow Connection message, enjoy a walk in the park and wonderful company. Sponsorship signs and banners are displayed along the walk path for all to cheer!

Dobson Golf Outing – Fourth Monday in July
This signature event is the symbol of the very first fundraiser for The Rainbow Connection in 1982 and is named in loving memory of our founder’s dear friend, Ron Dobson who perished in a plane crash with his two children Tim and Jennifer. One can actually feel the cherished history of this beloved organization with guests ranging from first time golfers to Dobson attendees dating back to the very beginning. Mr. Dobson’s, widow, Janet Dobson Vernier is there to greet and thank all who attend!

Celebration of Dreams – Late November, early December
The holidays are here, a quiet snow is falling and the wish children at The Rainbow Connection are putting on a fashion show for all who attend. This Sunday afternoon event is a special opportunity to celebrate our wish children and the joy of making wishes come true. Be a part of the magic!

Casual Day

Ask your employer to hold a “Dress Casual for a Day” fundraiser. For a donation employees get to dress casually, usually on Fridays. Everyone is comfortable and you raise money for The Rainbow Connection at the same time!

Already have a Casual Day? Suggest a Pot Luck and charge a small admission, a Bake Sale or BBQ. Invite other businesses to attend. Pick a theme. Make it fun! Watch your contributions grow! Ask your employer if they have a Matching Program.

Matching Funds

Ask your Personnel / Human Resource Department if your company participates in a Matching Fund Program. Pick up a matching gift form and mail it to The Rainbow Connection along with your donation.
