Sunshine Foundation’s mission is to answer the dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children. The organization’s founder, Bill Sample, was a police officer and a member of our armed forces that often saw firsthand the physical, emotional and financial challenges faced by families of children with debilitating illnesses. He knew that between high medical expenses and the time it takes to care for such children, parents and the children both suffered. He was determined to make a difference in the lives of these families and that difference culminated in the establishment of Sunshine Foundation in 1976. Along the way, Dream Village was established, a 22 acre site that provides a way for these very special families to enjoy peace, tranquility and quality family-oriented activities away from hospitals and
needles.
During our recent visit to the Sunshine Foundation’s Orlando location, Director of Development Rich Mergo shared a story about a parent with a special-needs child that rarely slept. Because of this, the parent lost sleep as well for fear of the child getting out in the middle of the night.
“As a parent, I understand the value of a good night’s sleep as well as the safety of our little ones,” says Jason Johnson, Chief Marlin. “While we happen to be a web design company that works in the virtual world of the internet, we live in the real world too and do what we can to help.” Marlin Consulting Solutions was pleased to assist this outstanding organization. Upon receiving our donation that enabled the Village to install door alarms at their facility, Kate Sample, President of the foundation said,
“I would like to offer my most sincere gratitude to you for your very generous donation. How can we begin to convey to you how much your donation means to these children....These children face each day with a positive attitude, overcoming hurdles that event as adults, would depress the best of us....Your compassion and caring are characteristics that of us as mankind should strive to possess. We
thank you for the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and kindness.”

The Flagler County Education Foundation was formed in 1990 by a group of caring volunteers who wanted to give back to the educational community by creating a direct support non-profit organization. The result was the Flagler County Education
Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, evolved as a direct-support organization committed to generating financial support and awareness to enhance educational programs benefiting students and teachers in Flagler County Public
Schools. The Flagler County Education Foundation funds and manages several core programs and also works closely with the school district to ensure the success of other programs.
They are currently gearing up for their “Packs 4 Backs” event on August 4 that will ensure that children in Flagler County that need help will head off to the new school year with essential school supplies. Visit them at www.flagleredfoundation.org for more info and to learn how you can help.
