Who We Are

Our Mission

Shine Through The Rain does many things but all in the service of one goal. That goal is to help those who are affected by life threatening illnesses. Whether it’s through services or funds we seek to provide guidance, support, and financial aid to those in need. We help adults, children, and families find the silver lining. When things seem gloomy and you’re being rained on we’re here to help you shine through it.

Do you like what we do and would like to get involved? Along with many volunteer opportunities we also welcome a range of options for donations. Click the donate now button below to learn more about how you can contribute to our cause.

Shannon has worked with the Shine Through the Rain Foundation since 2010. She began as the office manager but was soon promoted to the Executive Director. She brings a wealth of operations, office and management experience to her role. Shannon has been impacted by cancer on a very personal level. Her father died at the young age of 45 years old of cancer while her mother was given financial support from others during this sad time. Shannon’s mission is to be an advocate for the Shine Through the Rain Foundation and to create awareness of the many programs offered and are available to people dealing with cancer. She strives to make a difference in the lives of many and is very proud to represent this great cause.
