December 2019

As the new year fast approaches, so, too, does Sky Ranch Foundation℠ approach our sixth decade of assisting in the rehabilitation of at-risk youth. With contributions received from the Beverage Alcohol Industry, the Foundation reflects upon the many organizations which we have, in some small way, helped to achieve that goal.  To-date, more than $3.6 million has been awarded.

Of the countless number of organizations which focus on these youth, few have benefited from our grant-giving, which we base upon achievement, offering hope and systematic change and a sincere desire to help these troubled youth.

Voices for Children of North Central Florida, Inc. (voices4childrenfl.com) has benefited from our grant-giving over the past few years and deservedly so.  “Their commitment and perseverance to the goals of the Foundation have helped countless youth in need, “says Peg Donovan, Foundation Vice President. We are proud to have been able to assist in helping them reach their goals and wish them continued success well into the future.”

THE DEADLINE FOR ORGANIZATIONS WHICH WISH TO REQUEST GRANTS IS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2020.
