Silent Auction
🌟 Get Ready to Bid on Transformational Experiences
The Rainbow Project is offering powerful, one-of-a-kind offerings in the 22nd annual Rhumba 4 Rainbow silent auction!

💌 Want to Donate?
Donating an auction item is a powerful way to showcase your business while supporting trauma-informed mental healthcare for children and families. Your donation reaches a vibrant, multicultural audience of families, young professionals, and community leaders who value movement, music, culture, and connection—coming together in support of community healing at an electric, high-energy event that draws over 700 guests and nearly sells out every year.
Rhumba 4 Rainbow is more than a fundraiser…
Your ticket purchase brings energy to the dance floor and helps bring healing to local children and families.
Our community is facing a difficult moment. Children and families across the nation—and here in Dane County—are experiencing rising levels of trauma, instability, and unmet mental health needs. As a result, demand for The Rainbow Project’s best-practice, trauma-informed services is higher than ever.
We’re aiming higher to meet the needs of our community! We hope to raise $200,000 with our 2026 Rhumba 4 Rainbow benefit gala so that we can:
Serve more children and caregivers.
Reduce wait times for urgent cases.
Expand early‑childhood and school‑based supports.
Strengthen long‑term outcomes for the families who trust us.
