Sunshine Kids Foundation
The Sunshine Kids Foundation was founded by Rhoda Tomasco in 1982 while she was serving as a volunteer in the pediatric cancer unit of a hospital in Houston, Texas. After seeing the loneliness and depression among children during their extended hospital treatments, Rhoda had a vision to provide these young cancer patients with opportunities to participate in positive group activities which promoted self-esteem, personal accomplishment and just plain old fashioned fun! Today, that vision has been realized many times over, as thousands of children from hospitals across the country have reaped the benefits of The Sunshine Kids Foundation’s many programs and national and regional events. Funded by personal contributions, corporations and foundations, the Sunshine Kids continues, as it has since its inception, to provide all of its activities completely free of charge to the children and their families.
Reach Foundation
In 2012, the REACH Foundation was established to provide students in the Placentia-Yorba Linda unified school district the resources to expand their knowledge in the areas of Academics, Arts, and Athletics.
We believe that exposure to critical thinking through academics, creativity through the arts and healthy well being through athletics will enable our students to reach their highest learning potential.
Project Me was a groundbreaking program funded by the REACH Foundation. Students from El Camino Real High School have been participating in a Project based Learning Program that encompasses art, academics and technology. They have been studying street art and have presented and have accepted a proposal to the city of Placentia to install an art mural within the city. We look forward to updates from the students of El Camino Real High School.
