Cause of the Month

Ruby’s Rainbow is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization inspired by a little girl named Ruby who was born with an unexpected 21st chromosome. Finding out she had Down syndrome did not change her family’s expectations for Ruby’s future, and they vowed to give her every possible opportunity to learn, grow, flourish and become an important contributor to society and the community. From these expectations grew the desire to help others “rockin’ that extra chromosome” on their journey toward higher education and independence.

The goal and mission at Ruby’s Rainbow is to grant scholarships to students with Down syndrome who are seeking post-secondary education, including enrichment or vocational classes, and helping them achieve their dreams of higher education while spreading awareness of their capabilities and general awesomeness.

*Ruby's Rainbow is listed as a 501(c)(3).
