At Suna Solutions, community giving has always been at the heart of our values. This year, we’re proud to support a variety of incredible organizations that align with our mission and resonate deeply with our team. These charities have been carefully chosen for the impactful work they do in transforming lives and strengthening communities.
The Charities We’re Supporting
Here are the organizations we’ve chosen to donate to this year, along with a bit about the work they do and how you can support them:
California Paws Rescue
Mission: California Paws Rescue is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming Bull Terriers, a breed known for its quirky and lovable nature. Over the past two years, this Platinum Certified organization has placed nearly 150 dogs in forever homes, thanks to its extensive network of volunteers and fosters.
Why It Matters: Several years ago, our President had to say goodbye to his long-time companion of 13 years and decided to “be your/his own damn hero!” by adopting Ophelia, a deaf and partially blind Bull Terrier. This personal connection to the breed fuels our commitment to supporting California Paws Rescue in their mission to provide a second chance to dogs like Ophelia.
How You Can Help: Visit California Paws Rescue’s website to learn more or to donate. If you’re considering adopting, this organization is an excellent resource for finding your new best friend.
Surfrider Foundation
Mission: Surfrider is the largest network of coastline defenders in the world, focusing on protecting the ocean and beaches through environmental initiatives, advocacy and education. For every dollar donated, 84 cents goes directly to current programs and campaigns.
Why It Matters: Growing up in Huntington Beach, Surf City USA, our President spent his childhood surfing and enjoying the beach—the best playground in the world. Surfrider’s mission to preserve these natural treasures resonates deeply with us. Their campaigns tackle critical issues such as plastic pollution, water quality and coastal erosion.
How You Can Help: Support Surfrider’s efforts by visiting Surfrider’s website and donating or volunteering. You can also participate in their beach cleanups to make a tangible difference.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Mission: St. Jude is renowned for its groundbreaking medical research and treatment for childhood cancer, all provided at no cost to families. This is made possible by generous donors who contribute over $2 billion annually.
Why It Matters: Our company’s family-first ethos aligns with St. Jude’s mission of creating safety nets for families in need. The strides they’ve made in childhood cancer research and treatment inspire us to support their life-changing work. Their innovative research is shared freely with the global medical community, amplifying their impact.
How You Can Help: Visit St. Jude’s website to learn more and donate. You can also explore ways to participate in their fundraising events.
Make-A-Wish Foundation
Mission: Make-A-Wish grants life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. Each wish, costing an average of $7,000, brings hope and joy to children and their families.
Why It Matters: Our President’s personal involvement with Make-A-Wish began when a family friend’s child was diagnosed with brain cancer. Having participated in over a dozen wishes, the experience of witnessing the best of humanity has left a lasting impact. With 70 cents of every dollar going directly to granting wishes, Make-A-Wish’s efficiency and dedication are remarkable. Supporting Make-A-Wish is a vital part of our community giving efforts.
How You Can Help: Visit Make-A-Wish’s website to donate or volunteer. Consider joining their events to help make wishes come true.
Volunteer Efforts
In addition to monetary donations, we’re also giving back through volunteer work:
Ronald McDonald House
Mission: Ronald McDonald House provides a home away from home for families of children receiving medical care, offering them a place to stay close to the hospital at no cost.
Why It Matters: By volunteering our time, we’re helping families remain close to their loved ones during challenging times. Tasks include preparing meals, cleaning and providing emotional support to families.
How You Can Help: Visit Ronald McDonald House’s website to explore volunteer opportunities or donate to their programs.
Slavics.org
Mission: Slavics.org is dedicated to serving Ukrainian refugees in the U.S. underprivileged communities by providing essential resources, education and job training as well as housing to support for immigrants and refugees.
Why It Matters: Volunteering with Slavics.org allows us to support individuals as they build new lives and integrate into their communities. From assisting with language classes to organizing donation drives, every effort makes a difference.
