Rainbows Run | Walk

May 4, 2013

Join in the fun for the second annual 5K and 1-Mile Family Fun Walk to benefit children with special needs ages birth - 21 and their families. Click here to register.

All proceeds benefit children and families in Butler County. The officially timed 5K is open to both competitive and non-competitive participants. The extra fun 1-Mile walk is for the whole family.

Strollers, wheelchairs, and dogs on leashes are welcome. The day will be a celebration of children with special needs and all they contribute to our community.

Activities outside the El Dorado Civic Center include face painting, Chick-Fil-A concession stand, miniature golf, ring toss, balloons, and other kid games.

100% of the proceeds from RAINBOWS RUN ● WALK supports children with special needs and their families in Butler County through the following services:

Targeted Case Management

Rainbows uses a family-centered approach encouraging each family to make their own choices and letting the case manager advocate and coordinate the services to make the family’s wishes a reality. As a long-time recognized leader in Kansas, Rainbows’ case managers help families overcome barriers. They match the needs of each child and family with available community resources and access to those services.

Bright Beginnings, Infant/Toddler Services

As you watch a baby or toddler, you may wonder if they are where they should be developmentally. The future can seem clouded with uncertainty. Developmental delays are more common than you may think and, in our community, we have many ways to help. Rainbows United is here for hundreds of children, shining warmth and offering bright beginnings. Rainbows United offer 16 early intervention services, depending on your specific needs, at no cost to families.
