What is Rhumba 4 Rainbow?

A premier benefit that brings together a diverse community, for a night of dancing and fun while raising money for a great cause. And don’t worry, you do not have to dance. Many of the attendees come strictly as spectators, because as usual, we will be showcasing some of the top Latin Dance performers in the world for what is considered Madison’s best dance floor show. All donations & proceeds from Rhumba go directly to the Rainbow Project.

COVID-19 Safety Guidelines

Although the pandemic has put our lives on hold in many ways, the trauma and impact experienced by the children and families in our community has not stopped. Our work at Rainbow does not stop. We need your financial help and support all the more. We will be providing a hybrid event of in-person as well as video live-streaming. After much care, thought, love, respect and concern for the maximum safety of everyone, we will be asking all in-person guests to follow best practice guidelines.

Best Practice Guidelines:

  • Proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test (within 72 hours)

  • Wearing masks

  • Safe distancing as much as possible

  • Thermometer fever check

  • Signing an acknowledgement of following these practices for the event

We hope to see you all in one way or the other. In unprecedented times we have worked hard to plan for an unprecedented, outstanding event, this year!!

Sincerely,
Carola Peterson Gaines, President, Board of Directors
Sharyl Kato, Executive Director
