JFK Memorial Foundation Honors The Circle Of Community Support Uplifting Coachella Valley Families


(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Every success story at JFK Memorial Foundation begins with someone who gave-time, resources, or belief. This month, the Foundation is spotlighting the powerful circle of donors, tribal partners, businesses, and volunteers whose generosity makes its mission possible.

Among them is the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, whose recent gift to the Ophelia Program extends far beyond financial support. It sends a clear message: investing in young women is an investment in the shared future of the Coachella Valley.

“In our 27 years, the generosity of local partners has supported mentorship for more than 7,000 girls, provided early literacy resources to hundreds of families, and delivered free medical and wellness services to children in need,” said JFK Memorial Foundation President/CEO Peter Sturgeon.“Our community sponsors and partners are the champions our youth can count on.”

Recent acts of support include a local business hosting a literacy drive for the Healthy Families Clinic, and volunteer mentors giving their time each week to guide and encourage students. These contributions-large and small-form a ripple effect that reaches across families and neighborhoods.

JFK Memorial Foundation invites the entire community to be part of this circle of impact. Whether by giving, mentoring, partnering, or simply sharing the Foundation's story, every effort builds a brighter future for the valley's youth.
