The ultimate goal of Riah's Rainbow is to bring smiles to the faces of children who have to endure a day, a week or even months in the hospital.  Our mission is to be able to give pediatric patients at local hospitals new coloring books, crayons, markers, colored pencils, craft items, etc.  Each time they visit they will receive a new coloring book & box of crayons to take home with them.  We will also offer alternatives such as puzzles, project bags, or paints.  Often times, cancer patients are offered "community" craft items.  With comprised immune systems, the threat is always there that the child may develop an illness.  Riah's Rainbow eliminates that fear for parents. 

To provide further assistance, it is our hope that in the future we will be able to provide parents with the resources to take their children out for a day adventure...maybe to the zoo, or dinner and a movie for the whole family.  Providing quality time to spend with each other and make memories.

Raising awareness of all types of pediatric brain tumors, with a particular focus on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG), is one of the most valuable gifts we can give our children who fought so hard.  We will also be joining other like-minded organizations in funding the search for a cure for DIPG and other forms of pediatric brain cancer, in the hope of curing all cancers.
