Oregon Rainbow, a part of the International Order of Rainbow for Girls, is a service and leadership organization for girls aged 6-20. Our lessons encourage members to be strong in spirit and kind in heart, respectful toward nature and giving toward all humanity.
Rainbow Girls on the local and state level chose a charity to support during each year. Girls and adults provide service and hold fundraisers to raise money for that charity. They raise money through a wide variety of activities. At the conclusion of the local assembly or state assembly terms, the charity is presented a check for those funds raised, as well as a report on the number of service hours given.
Each year, hundreds of hours of community service are provided to organizations such as Oregon Food Bank, Portland Shriners Hospital, Special Olympics, Susan B Komen Foundation, as well as many hours provided to our Statewide Service Projects.
This year, we are raising funds for the Portland Shriners Hospital Spine Unit - MAGEC Growing Rods program for kids with scoliosis and other spinal deformities. Our goal is to raise $15,000 for this MAGEC program (Magnetic Expansion Control System). This is a new surgical method of treatment which allows for children to continue to grow while minimizing the progression of scoliosis. Kids experience less surgeries, less opportunities for infection, ability to still grow while stabilizing the spine, and less pain.
