The Dino Rossi Fund
Dino Rossi was a beloved lifelong member of the Colours team, and after his passing in 2020, Colours decided to commemorate his life and legacy through educational scholarships. These scholarships support nominated Colours employees, their families, and customers and their families in pursuing higher education at two-year, four-year, and vocational technical schools.
