Wall of Generosity
Over the years, special events, clubs and organizations of Laguna Woods have donated thousands of dollars to The Foundation. In addition, we would like to honor some special donors.

Clubs keep the holidays bright!
Keeping the holidays bright for all Village residents was made possible this year by the many donations to the Foundation by Village clubs in 2018. This year, club donations permitted the Foundation to adopt over 150 seniors in the Village who received special “holiday cheer.” With the help of Social Services and the South County Outreach food pantry, the Foundation was able to identify those in need of such cheer and provided Village seniors with both a special holiday meal and gift, something they would not have had otherwise.
The Foundation is particularly grateful for all these club donations and would like to acknowledge the contributions of the following: Aliso Club, Aquadettes, Arts Association, Duplicate Bridge Club, California Club, Ceramics Club, Chicago Club, Chinese American Club, Friends of Bridge, Garden Club, Korean-American Club, Lawn Bowling Club, Men’s Golf Club, Needleworks Club, New York Club, Nifty’s Club, Old Pros, PC Club, Players Club, Porcelain Artists, Potters and Sculptors, Publishing Club, Rock n’ Rollers, Rosh Chodesh, RV Wheelers, Sewing Supers, Sunday Discussion Group, Sunshine Performance Club, Ukulele Club, Village Chorale, Village Library, Women’s Golf Club.
The Bridge Club made a $7,500 donation to the Foundation of Laguna Woods Village in 2018. Don Joynt, the club’s president, presented the “check” to Pat Leftwich, the foundation’s treasurer.
