Established in 2018, the Little Sunshine Foundation was created to give back to the community and provide low-income youth with resources to help improve their quality of life. The foundation assists with sports equipment and education needs. The foundation also teaches youth and young adults how to give back to their community and help the less fortunate. The Little Sunshine Foundation was created by Monica Vobecky who was just 14 years old at the time.
Young Vobecky comes from a loving two-parent household with an older brother. Including her extended family who lives nearby, she was always surrounded by love and wanted for nothing. She wanted other youth to feel loved as well. She started the foundation and named it the Little Sunshine Foundation because she believes every child deserves a little bit of sunshine. So with her foundation which is run on a strictly volunteer basis, she is doing her part to provide a little sunshine to kids in her community.
The Little Sunshine Foundation is inviting the public out to have a good time for a great cause and help the community with its Casino Night Fundraiser. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 22 at the Glendora Women’s Club located at 424 N. Glendora Avenue in the City of Glendora Admission for the event is $ 100, doors open at 5:00 pm.
