SPONSORS: MHP looks for sponsorship on every room we do. This can be accomplished by sole sponsorship or a co-sponsorship. A sponsor is then invited to help with putting the room together and to be present at the Reveal. It is because of this involvement, that we have many repeat sponsors. Not only does the sponsor know exactly where his money is going, but they get to be a part of the magic.

Rainbow Connection

This has been an extremely difficult year, especially for children. Beyond getting sick, many young people’s social, emotional and mental well-being has been impacted by the pandemic. In order to do our part to spread JOY, we came up with the idea of The Rainbow Connection.

Periodically, we will select a child outside the scope of medical necessity who needs uplifting for various reasons: financial, emotional, social and mental. Because we believe that every child deserves their very own Happy Place.

We will select one grade school aged child (K-5th) who needs some joy and happiness. The child must live in Mason City or a 30 mile radius.

To nominate a child, fill out the application below. Available Rainbow Connection rooms and application deadlines will be posted on our Facebook page.

IMPORTANT: You may be asked to submit a Healthcare Professional Form, verifying your child's diagnosis. While we know this can hold up an application, we must have one on file before any work is done on the room (if this form is required by the MHP Affiliate). You may submit the actual application asap, but if application is accepted, this form must be completed by the child's healthcare team before any work is done on the room. You may print off this form to take to your child's healthcare provider to have them sign and mailing it to the MHP Affiliate's address or direct the healthcare provider to: http://myhappyplacemc.com/healthcare-professional-form/
