Mayor’s Message: Community Foundation’s Impact Is Invaluable to Aliso Viejo and Our Residents

Aliso Viejo Mayor Ross Chun

In light of back-to-school season, Aliso Viejo Mayor Ross Chun recently shared a few words with The Orange County Register thanking the Aliso Viejo Community Foundation for their work in the community:

“For many years, the Aliso Viejo Community Foundation has awarded scholarships to graduating seniors from Aliso Niguel High School. Since 1988, the foundation has contributed nearly $750,000 to Aliso Viejo schools, events, programs, and activities. The nonprofit’s impact has a far-reaching and positive impact on Aliso Viejo.

With the support of generous individuals, businesses and organizations throughout the community, the AVCF has provided invaluable opportunities to students and residents, including the Aliso Viejo Middle School Book Club Project and Passport to Mexico; Aliso Niguel High School grants, and Soka University grants.

Guided by the Aliso Viejo Community Foundation Board of Directors — made up of Robert Bunyan, Eric Hauber, and Russ Parker — the Foundation contributes to the community financially and serves as an example of civic engagement and support. I want to thank the AVCF for its outstanding work to benefit people in our community.”
