The Whittier Community Foundation was created in 2005 with a mission to support community services activities from the education and enjoyment of the greater Whittier community.
We raise funds year-round through special events such as Dancing with the Whittier Stars, the Spooktacular 5K Walk/Run and our newest fundraiser the Boots, Beer & BBQ at the Quad. We have formed valuable relationships with organizations including the Whittier Host Lions Club and PIH Health as well as businesses and individuals.
