For more than 30 years, the Carolyn Scott Rainbow House has provided a “home away from home” to thousands of patient families whose children are served by Children’s Hospital & Medical Center. Stays at the Rainbow House are a free service to patient families who live 60 miles or more from Omaha. Donations are welcome, but not required. Even during the pandemic, the Rainbow House has continued to host families (more than 29,000 overnight stays in 2020), so the need for community support continues to be great.

Ten years ago, a dynamic group of women started Wine Women & Shoes to support the Rainbow House and help families who needed a place to call home while their children undergo treatment at Children’s. It’s a one-of-a-kind fundraising event for women celebrating fashion and compassion. Guests enjoy food and wine while shopping a fabulous marketplace full of shoes, jewelry and accessories.
