Past Grand Service Projects
California Rainbow Girls Make a Difference Every Year
Rainbow Girls are dedicated to service. They run so that others may walk; they swim so that someone else might hear; they wash cars so that others might have freedom from a wheelchair; they have bake sales so that a child may have the breath of life; they wash dishes so a child may go to camp. California Rainbow Girls have worked to serve others, earning over $1,000,000 in the past 14 years. Their reward for service is that indescribable feeling within one's heart when we've made someone else happy in attaining our own goal.
