In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month the Illinois College Football team is accepting donations on behalf of Riah’s Rainbow.Riah’s Rainbow was established in 2008 in honor Mariah Klein, of Green Bay, WI, who lost her battle with an inoperable pediatric brain tumor at the age of four. Mariah was an artist...her artwork became her therapy and kept her smiling throughout her ordeal. The ultimate goal of Riah’s Rainbow is to bring those smiles to the faces of children who have to endure a stay in the hospital. With compromised immune systems, the threat of illness is always there. Riah’s Rainbow works to eliminates that fear of illness by providing new coloring books, crayons, markers, colored pencils, craft items, etc. to pediatric patients each time they visit.
Riah’s Rainbow is trying to expand their efforts to touch the lives of children in every state through this outreach program. Let’s help Riah’s Rainbow reach the children of Illinois and help them find their smile!
Please bring new art supplies, puzzles, crafts, etc*... to the Illinois College football game on: Saturday, September 26 • 1 p.m
