The Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise Foundation 

The Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise Foundation is the non-profit charitable arm of the Boca Raton Sunrise Club and supports its mission “To improve the lives of children and families, support education, and assist those in need, all to make a global impact.”  Foundation proceeds will help to fund their "Sunrise Non-Profit Grant Program", the Youth Activity Center (YAC), assisting local Farm Worker families and children, sending local high school students to RYLA leadership training camp, the annual Boca Raton Teacher of the Year Banquet, and other local and international projects related to Rotary's seven areas of focus - Education and Literacy, Disease Prevention and Treatment, Peace and Conflict Resolution, Water and Sanitation, Maternal and Child Health, Economic and Community Development and Protecting the Environment. 

The Fuller Center 

For more than 50 years, the Fuller Center’s mission has been to embrace, educate, and empower hardworking, under-resourced families and children to reach their full potential. We build a positive future through education for the more than 900 children (infants through teens) that we serve annually, as well as 600 family members. The Fuller Center reaches families in 20 zip codes throughout Palm Beach County, as well as North Broward County. 

Almost all Fuller Center working parents – 92% – serve as essential or frontline workers, working in hospitals, retail outlets, restaurants, and hotels. They are our bus drivers, store clerks and cashiers, farmworkers, delivery drivers, security guards, bank tellers, office workers, healthcare workers, and home health aides, hospital orderlies and cafeteria workers, and childcare and eldercare workers.

Our programs help empower children to start school prepared, succeed academically, and break the generational cycle of poverty through quality early childhood education, after-school and summer camp programs, our new private elementary school and teen leadership programs, and comprehensive, family-centered support services. They also empower parents who are essential to keeping our local economy open and who provide the vital services we all count on. 

The Fuller Center also offers mentoring programs and adult on-the-job training, coaching, and employment support, and no-cost transportation from 12 area schools to our campus-based after-school programs. We serve more than 1,800 nutritious meals and snacks daily.

In addition, Fuller Center provides opportunities for local colleges and universities to place undergraduate and graduate students in internships and child development practicums.
