Each year, the fund offers a variety of college scholarship opportunities to graduating seniors from the Kenosha Unified School District, St. Joseph Catholic Academy, Christian Life Academy and Shoreland Lutheran High School, which are presented at the annual Reaching for Rainbows “Pursuit of Excellence” Gala.
In addition to awarding college scholarships, the Shebaniah B.
