Past Colors for Colette Events
2024
A record-breaking summer of hope! The 2024 Colors for Colette event saw a total of $52,000 raised for Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital. This resulted in a $37,000 donation to the Colors for Colette Immunotherapy Research Fund that is furthering Case Western Reserve’s childhood cancer research. An additional $15,000 went to Rainbow’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit where it was able to update and transform patient/family areas enhancing the department’s ability to provide comfort and care both to patients and their families.
2023
A year of leaps and bounds in every area. The 2023 Colors for Colette event had more artists, more talent, more fun and — most importantly — raised more funds!!! A total of $32,000 was raised for UH Rainbow. With $25,000 Colors for Colette opened a permanent pediatric oncology research account with UH Rainbow and Case Western Reserves. The remaining $7,000 was divided between the Pediatric Intensive Care and Oncology Units of UH Rainbow to provide immediate needs of patients and their families.
