Educational Scholarship


A huge thank you to Sunrise Rotary Club and Murrieta Rotary Club for believing in our youth! Recently, the Rotary Clubs provided two of our deserving young men with an educational scholarship to help them continue his educational journey. What an amazing feeling for these young men thanks to Sunrise and Murrieta Rotary!

Summer Fun


From the beach to Dorm activities, Residents had a fun and busy start to the summer. They have been able to attend Lake Elsinore Storm games, themed days in the Dorms, outings including the beach, pool parties, and enjoyed the traditional Kona Ice Truck sponsored by ACE Realty.


Thank you to all the supporters whose gifts make it possible for the youth to create fun summer memories and to ACE Realty for sponsoring the annual Kona Ice Truck.
