Scully Learning Foundation

Different missions. One shared purpose.

Together, these four organizations are changing lives every day:
❤️ Scully Learning Center Foundation
💚 Foothills Food Bank
💙 Foothills Caring Corps
💛 The Holland Center

Housing.
Food.
Independence.
Education.
Connection.

Every ticket purchased for Dancing with the Desert Stars helps strengthen all four missions and the Desert Foothills community we all love.

No one should have to grow older alone.

More seniors are living independently than ever before, but many face transportation challenges, isolation, medication concerns, and declining health without family nearby.

Foothills Caring Corps provides the support that helps older adults remain safe, independent, and connected to their community.

By attending Dancing with the Desert Stars, you're helping neighbors continue living with dignity and independence.

Because community means looking out for one another.

Hunger doesn't always look the way we expect.

Nearly 1 in 7 Arizona adults and 1 in 5 children struggle with food insecurity.

Last year alone, Foothills Food Bank distributed over 2 million pounds of food, providing nearly 1.7 million meals to families throughout the Desert Foothills.

When you attend Dancing with the Desert Stars, you're helping ensure families, children, and seniors continue receiving the support they need.

One evening can make a lasting impact.

Strikes, spares, smiles, and a whole lot of fun! Last week, the Scully Learning Center Team hit the lanes for a bowling outing filled with friendly competition, plenty of cheering, and lots of laughs. Days like these are about so much more than bowling. They are opportunities to get out, try something fun, spend time with friends, and build meaningful connections in our community. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure! 🎳

Did you know?

More than 34,000 Arizona adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are living with aging caregivers, placing many at risk of future homelessness.

Through Preserving Families Home, Scully Learning Center Foundation is working toward a lasting solution that provides safety, stability, and hope.

Your attendance at Dancing with the Desert Stars helps move this vision closer to reality while supporting three other incredible Desert Foothills nonprofits.
Together, we can change lives.

Across Arizona, rising costs, food insecurity, housing challenges, and social isolation are placing tremendous pressure on local nonprofits. Here in the Desert Foothills, organizations are seeing more neighbors turn to them for help than ever before.

At Scully Learning Center, we believe adults with developmental disabilities deserve opportunities to explore their community, build meaningful relationships, and simply have fun. That's why our participants enjoy regular outings that encourage social connections, confidence, and independence.

On Thursday, August 6, our Scully Team will beat the heat with a bowling adventure! It's one more opportunity to laugh together, celebrate friendships, and create lasting memories.

These moments may seem simple, but they make a meaningful difference. Every outing helps build confidence, strengthen connections, and remind our participants that they are valued members of our community.
