Noah's Never Ending Rainbow along with River Valley Bank and WAOW teamed up to spearhead the ‘Build from the Heart’ project. 'Build from the Heart' included building a new handicap accessible home for an area family with the only two children in the world known to have a specific chromosome 3 and 6 abnormality. The specialized home is open to the public and includes a therapy/community room for other special needs families to utilize for playgroups, therapy, and networking. www.noahsneverendingrainbow.org The Jeanie Marie Fund has been established in honor of those affected by cancer of any form, to any degree. The goal is take an otherwise tough and potentially dark time and turn into a bright and hopeful future for someone in need. Through its inaugural project, the Courage Calendar, The Jeanie Marie Fund has been able to sponsor several hundred overnight stays at the Ronald McDonald House in Marshfield for families in need. Additionally, The Jeanie Marie Fund has sponsored and coordinated a successful bone marrow donor drive benefiting the ‘National Marrow Donor Program / Be the Match’ organization.
