A member of our community who is passionate about the mission of Reaching for Rainbows, understands that the financial needs of Mahone Scholars can quickly become overwhelming. Life challenges don’t always provide time for preparation and planning. Often, in times of emergency, the Need is Now.

"I never had the honor of meeting Mary Lou or Arthur Mahone. But I have had the opportunity to meet Ardis and Tim, and became acquainted with the vision of “Reaching for Rainbows.” It is a veritable institution of our community.Providing incentive, support and hope to any high school student in the Kenosha and Racine community who is in need and willing to work to get ahead, Reaching for Rainbows opens the door to the opportunities that come with affordable education. Reaching for Rainbows and the Mahone Foundation is a symbol to all students in our communities that we support them, and we want them to succeed. In creating the Need is Now Student Emergency Fund, my hope is that it will demonstrate to students that their friends and neighbors are willing to help when the challenges of life create obstacles to success. I am proud to establish the Need is Now Student Emergency Fund with a $25,000 donation – please join me in growing the Need is Now Student Emergency Fund in the coming months.”
