The men of Spicewine Ironworks have donated a Small Spicewine Smoker to us for a raffle to coincide with the 2nd Annual Rainbow House Pro-Am Sporting Clays Tournament (please see attachment). Rainbow House is a Children's Emergency Shelter and Regional Child Advocacy Center in Columbia, MO (see below for more details)
The cost of the tickets are $10 each. If anyone had dreamed of owning one of these state of the art smokers, it would be a cheap way to try to get one, and help children that have been put through trauma that no one should ever endure. There are three ways to pay for these tickets. You may send a check to Rainbow House, you may call our office and give us a credit card number, or you can buy them by using my PayPal account. We do not have our new website up yet (under major renovation), so we cannot take payments there. Please look below for that information. Also, if you do not live in the immediate area or cannot pick it up, you will have to pay the cost of shipping and handling. Jay has more information on the cost of shipping these.
I have to applaud Jay, Steve and Randy for their generosity in helping us. We do many fundraising events and drives, but I think that this, by far, will be the best one (and most fun) so far. We anticipate selling 350 tickets or so. Please help Rainbow House with our mission of keeping children safe and to support families in crisis through prevention, assessment and intervention in child abuse and neglect. $10 goes a long way in helping the kids.
Rainbow House Emergency Children’s Shelter
Rainbow House opened in 1986 as a emergency foster care shelter for abused and neglected children and has continually served children since that time. Kathy Hughes, a local nurse and foster parent had a dream that foster children removed from their parents could receive the care they deserved in a nurturing family environment while permanent foster placement was being found for them.
In 1992, services expanded to include temporary care for children whose parents were in crisis and were unable to provide care themselves. These children are able to avoid the foster care system, and are not endangered by inadequate caregivers. With Rainbow House intervention, most of these children return to the care of their parents, and are offered follow up support services and assistance. Some of these Crisis Care placements may be caused by:
Regional Child Advocacy Center
Local professionals conducting investigative interviews with abused children had a desire for a safe, child-friendly place in which to do their work. Rainbow House responded by opening the Child Advocacy Center in 1998. Serving ten counties across Mid-Missouri, the Rainbow House Regional Child Advocacy Center assists in the coordination of investigation and treatment of abuse cases by providing a safe, confidential, and child-friendly environment for the interviewing of child victims of alleged sexual abuse and severe physical abuse. We provide professional digitally recorded forensic interviews that allow children to communicate at their maximum level and embrace the Child First Doctrine: The child is our first priority.
Thanks!

Some of these Crisis Care placements may be caused by:
- Medical and mental health emergencies
- Death in the family
- Parent participation in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program
- Highly stressful home situations with little or no support
- Eviction
- Lack of food and utilities
- Domestic Violence
