Our Mission Statement

 The mission of the Foundation is to provide services that address the physical, cultural, educational and social needs of Sun City Roseville residents, beyond those services already provided by the Community Association.

​

Our motto is:

“Neighbors Helping Neighbors”

​

 Our activities include fund raising, providing certain services and programs for Sun City residents, financially supporting the needs of the Community Association’s Sunshine Services organization and contributing toward the purchase of certain community capital assets.
