We volunteer around our community throughout the year. We host an annual basketball tournament for high school boys and girls, we give out over $30,000 of scholarships every year, we work with the Boys and Girls Club to help students with back-to-school shopping, and we are always looking for new volunteer activities, and ideas!

Scholarhsips

Each year, we give over $30,000 in scholarships to high school graduates continuing their education at trade schools, community colleges, and four-year universities!

Back-To-School

As part of the Boys and Girls Club Back-to-School Shopping event, every year, we sponsor students by taking them shopping for back-to-school clothes at Khols Department Store in Redlands. It is always a fun event for us and the kids!

...And More

We sponsor two Key Clubs for high school students at Indian Springs High School and Middle College High School.  We also sponsor  Bringing Up Grades and Terrific Kids programs at Lincoln Elementary.  We are always looking for new ways to volunteer and help our community!
