The People who Make us Happen

Our sponsors are the driving force behind Sunshine Club, providing the vital support that keeps us moving forward. Their generosity is invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for their understanding of the importance of our work. Thanks to their unwavering commitment, our club continues to thrive, ensuring bright and promising futures for our children. Our success would not be possible without them, and we are profoundly thankful for their dedication to our mission.

Over the years, hundreds of individuals, organizations, and partners have generously contributed food, groceries, school supplies, and basic essentials. Many have celebrated their birthdays by hosting parties filled with fun games and prizes for the kids, while others have taken the children on educational outings and treated them to lunch. Sunshine Club is deeply appreciative of these acts of kindness and the joy they bring to our children. Although we may not have a complete list of these generous souls, their support is cherished and their contributions are always recognized with heartfelt gratitude.

Regular Donors

Our regular donors are incredibly dedicated individuals who have shown unwavering commitment to our cause.

Many of them have been with us since our founding in 2006, standing by our side as trusted friends and steadfast supporters. Their consistent generosity has been a reliable source of help, and we consider them an integral part of the Sunshine Club family. We hold them dearly in our hearts, as their support has been essential to our sustainability, our ongoing success and the positive impact we continue to make.

Celebrations with the children in mind

Kayla has made it a tradition to celebrate her birthday each year with the children in mind. The kids eagerly look forward to the festivities, enjoying a day filled with delicious food, treats, and exciting activities that bring joy and create lasting memories.

Assisted Scholars' Sponsors

Individuals who are committed to supporting the education of our talented and bright children through to completion.

Our Assisted Scholars are fortunate to be supported by a dedicated group of generous individuals who commit to years of monthly contributions, helping these students navigate their academic journeys until they secure a degree. The impact of this assistance is truly life-changing, opening doors to better job opportunities and a brighter future. This transformative support is evident in the success of our graduates, who have not only earned their college degrees but have also become productive members of society. On behalf of the club and our scholars, we extend our deepest gratitude for this invaluable support.

Partners

Our partners are instrumental in ensuring that our children are well-nourished, providing the essential resources contributing to their health and well-being.

Their regular support goes beyond mere sustenance; it fuels the growth and development of each child, enabling them to focus on their education and enjoy their childhood to the fullest. We partner with both individuals and groups who share our mission of uplifting the plight of our beneficiaries.  By addressing one of the most fundamental needs, our partners help lay the foundation for brighter futures, where our children can academically and personally thrive. We are deeply thankful for their unwavering commitment and generosity.

Angels Today

Angels Today is a community dedicated to addressing socio-civic issues through collective efforts and love-centered initiatives. Born from a deep passion for the well-being of our fellow men and women, Angels Today was founded on the belief that, in a world full of challenges, love and compassion are the driving forces needed to create meaningful change in society. 

During the challenging years of 2020-2021, Angels Today made a significant impact by regularly providing hot meals to our children, helping to ease the burden on parents who were struggling to earn an income due to prolonged lockdowns. Their unwavering support during this critical time was a lifeline for many families. Even today, Angels Today continues to stand by us, playing an integral role in helping us achieve our mission and making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.

Happy Mover's Club

We are the “Happy Movers Club,” a group of four enthusiastic young volunteers with a shared passion for making a difference in children’s lives through teaching. Since mid-2023, we’ve been dedicated to helping Grades 4-6 students at the Sunshine Club improve their reading skills, meeting with them every second Saturday of the month.

In each session, we prepare a story for the children to read, whether aloud together or quietly on their own. We then guide them in analyzing the story, checking their comprehension and identifying those who might need extra support. As “ates” and teachers of the Happy Movers Club, we adapt our approach to meet each child where they are, recognizing that everyone learns at a different pace. With each session, we gain a deeper understanding of their collective and individual needs.

Our challenge—and joy—is to make learning both exciting and fun, keeping the kids fully engaged. As we look ahead to the 2024-2025 school year, we’re hopeful that more volunteers will join us in this rewarding journey, helping to inspire and uplift even more young learners.

The Philippine FoodBank Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to alleviating hunger and reducing food waste across the Philippines. At the forefront of food rescue efforts, the foundation collects surplus and near-expiry food products from generous donors, including food producers and retailers. These rescued food items are then distributed to marginalized communities, such as orphanages, schools, parishes, and beyond.

For many years, the foundation has been a steadfast supporter of Sunshine Club, consistently providing essential food supplies to our families. Earlier this year, they began a new initiative, delivering fresh bread to our families on a weekly basis. Their ongoing support has been instrumental in helping us ensure that our children and their families have access to nutritious food, and we are deeply grateful for their partnership.

Visiting Friends

Our “Visiting Friends” play a vital role in keeping our children’s spirits high through a variety of fun and intellectually stimulating activities.

They generously provide the resources needed to plan and execute these events, offering our children not just valuable learning experiences but also cherished memories that last a lifetime. Many of our partners are organizations that share our vision, forming a network of like-minded individuals who empower one another to achieve our collective goals. We are deeply grateful for their support.

Special Events Partnerships

With the help of our friends and supporters, we actively solicit donations from various companies, often in the form of contributions in kind.

These donations are invaluable, providing much needed supplies, gifts, and resources that directly benefit our children and community. The generosity of these companies shines brightest during the festive season when the spirit of giving is at its peak. During this joyful time, we see an outpouring of support, as the Christmas season inspires a greater sense of compassion and charity. These donations not only bring immediate joy but also help sustain our programs throughout the year, making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
