The CARE Foundation is pleased to announce its newest corporate sponsors:

Visionary Sponsor -  Rancho Mission Viejo Company

Since 1882, O'Neill/Avery/Moiso family members have owned Rancho Mission Viejo. Each generation has been guided by a set of values: manage the land thoughtfully; honor family, friends and community; and make your handshake your word. The years have brought greater responsibilities and challenges. Yet the family remains steadfast in its commitment to keep the Ranch in family hands, meet the demands of a growing population, and give back to the community.

The CARE Foundation is grateful to Rancho Mission Viejo for their continued support, helping us make a difference for every child we serve.
