Irvine, Calif. (August 4, 2023) – The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Foundation recently awarded $6,000 in grants to two Irvine charities.

“Being able to help organizations that empower youth and bring joy to children is special,” said Rachel Perez, the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Foundation’s Irvine region board member. “Our employee-owners are proud to partner with these essential nonprofits.”

The Jessie Rees Foundation and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Orange Coast received $3,000 each to support their missions.

Jessie Rees Foundation partners with children’s hospitals and childhood cancer care facilities across the United States. They deliver age-specific toys, activities and games to children receiving active cancer treatment.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Orange Coast will apply their grant to membership fees for low-income students. This membership includes access to their workforce development program, which empowers youth by providing direct mentorship, career-specific workshops, internships, externships and apprenticeships.

The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Foundation awards quarterly grants to charities in Orange County that support disadvantaged children and families. Nonprofits are selected through an application and review process led by a committee of local 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ employee-owners.
