Inaugural Sponsors

Stand behind Paul's story.

We're inviting a small number of businesses, local firms, attorneys, and real estate offices who want to do real good, to be inaugural sponsors of Rainbow Bridge of Hope. In thanks for a gift to the cause, your business is featured at the top of the site and in our emails as a founding sponsor. No tiers, no packages. One conversation.

Bridge of Hope · Any-Amount Donation

Donors who give from the heart, not for the spotlight. Direct gift via Venmo, opt-in donor wall, and impact updates twice a year. Not a sponsorship. A gift. Give to the mission.

This campaign is shared through local churches, veteran groups, suicide prevention networks, and community groups across Volusia County. Your business is featured at the top of the site and in our emails, and the memorial wall keeps generating shareable pages over time.

Founding Partners

These people didn't donate money. They gave something harder to buy: their reach, their audience, their name, and their story. They shared this mission with the people who trust them. That's how movements start.

Born into veterinary medicine. Her father was a veterinarian. Cancer took him 27 years ago. Glencoe Vet is her practice and her inheritance.

The Next Paul

Paul's bridges will all find homes. When the last one is sold, the mission doesn't end. We're looking for a craftsman who wants to carry the mantle: build rainbow bridges, sell them, make a living, and continue the mission Paul's legacy started.

The successor inherits an audience, a brand, a community, partnership, and a story the world already knows.

Interested? Reach out. Jason has final say on Paul's successor.

Rainbow Bridge of Hope is a community mission of the Volusia Business Network.

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”

Isaiah 54:17

For the makers

When the last bridge sells, the mission doesn't end.

Paul made every bridge by hand. When the last of his finds a home, the inventory is gone. But the grieving pet owners don't stop arriving. The families don't stop needing something to hold.

We're looking for the next maker. A woodworker. A painter. A welder. A potter. A photographer. An illustrator. A sculptor. An artist of any medium who can build something a family keeps on their mantle for twenty years. You don't have to be Paul. Nobody can be. You can be the next chapter, under your own name, your own style, your own hands.

Photographers, illustrators, metalworkers, glass artists, weavers. The medium doesn't matter. The grief doesn't pick a form. Whatever you make, if it can carry someone's love for the animal they lost, this door is yours.
