Rotary Club of Sun Lakes (RCSL) considers non-profit Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels one of its special Valley charities.  Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels is a nonprofit, support and educational organization designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible, tax-exempt organization, founded in 2012 in celebration of Amanda Hope’s life. Amanda Hope’s mission is to bring dignity and comfort into the harsh world of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.  

One of the ways RCSL recently supported Amanda Hope was through the Club’s $300 monetary donation to be used to purchase fleece to make blankets for hope and comfort to children in need – one blanket at a time.  In response to the Club’s donation, RCSL Rotarian and Sun Lakes resident Kandi Skrabala volunteered to hand make several hope blankets. 

Additionally, several RCSL members along with ASU Rotaract members will be on hand for a Trunk and Treat event held at Amanda Hopes headquarter parking lot.  Rotarians, with the support of ASU Rotaract Rotary Club members, will put on Halloween costumes, decorate their car trunks, and pass out candy to childhood cancer warriors.
