In Memory and Honor of Rita Marie Goehner, my niece,
and the inspiration for Rita’s Rainbows,
Mom Grooves and Rock Paper Tree are hosting a fantastic giveaway.
Help us spread awareness for a wonderful cause and you might just win the prizes!

This giveaway is for a Sterling Silver Star necklace and a $20 Starbucks Gift card!!
Starbucks was one of Rita’s favorite things. She never gave her own name (because she lightly mused that they might steal her spirit). When she made her order, she would also try to order something where they had to check every one of the boxes on the cup. (She made all of life more fun).
About the STAR:
ORIGINAL RITA GOEHNER DESIGN CAST IN STERLING SILVER
(including a free 18″ Sterling Silver Ball Chain)
This star was cast from a wax design. We were lucky enough to have the wax before Rita passed away. I cast it just as she left it with all her finger impressions and touches in tact. Normally, I would have smoothed everything out, but it just seemed perfect as it was and I didn’t want to take away any of Rita’s special, magical energies.
The Star necklace is sold exclusively at Rock Paper Tree. We also have other items for sale that donate some or all of the proceeds to Rita’s Rainbows.
About Rita’s Rainbows:
Rita’s Rainbows is a non-profit benefit corporation created to serve the memory of Rita Marie Goehner. This corporation is organized to provide charitable assistance both financially and through programs to benefit children who demonstrate a need.
Rita’s Rainbows was created with much love by her surviving family in 2008. Although, Rita was only sixteen years old at the time, an unfortunate car accident took her life in April 2006. She was already an active community member. Rita always had a smile on her face and deep compassion for others. Through different venues she took part in many ways to help children, especially homeless, and underprivileged. Rita’s Rainbows was started to carry on her special love for others.

I “like” Rita’s Rainbows. What a beautiful way to honor an extraordinary young woman.
I know I have been absent lately but I had to stop in to tell you this is a fabulous giveaway to raise awareness of this good cause. I like Rita’s Rainbows on facebook.
I did the “give a minute” thing but I don’t think it worked. It said “loading assets” and never got past that. I tried it twice with the same result. Is something else supposed to happen?
