Empowering Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Scully Learning Center Foundation provides enrichment activities, life skills training and community support for adults with development disabilities. We are raising funds to build a residential center for developmentally disabled adults who become homeless when their family or long-term caregiver is no longer available to care for them.
Dancing Together for a Stronger Community
Get ready for an evening of music, dancing, and community as your favorite local personalities step into the spotlight and dance their hearts out for a great cause. Watch the floor come alive in a spirited competition where one champion will be crowned, all while supporting four cherished local nonprofits. Every ticket helps strengthen the Carefree and Cave Creek community we all call home.
Pennies for Preserving Families
The U.S. Treasury has begun phasing out the penny, completing the end of its production, making it obsolete and useless in the US economy. As there are significant pennies still in circulation, we’d like to collect as many of them as possible, exchanging them for dollars.
The following locations are accepting donations for the Scully Learning Center Penny Drive:
The Holland Center
34250 N 60th St, Scottsdale
Local Jonny’s
6033 E Cave Creek Rd, Cave Creek
Tech 4 Life
748 Easy St Suite 12, Carefree
Athens on Easy Street
121 Easy St, Carefree
Stumblina’s Cantina
6268 E Cave Creek Rd, Cave Creek
Scully Greeting Cards
Creativity with a Cause
We are excited to share a special fundraiser that brings together creativity, community, and compassion. Participants recently teamed up with the Sonoran Arts League to design a beautiful collection of greeting cards—12 cards for just $30—with proceeds supporting our programs and mission.
Who We Are
Every person deserves a place to call home and a community that cares.
At Scully Learning Center, we believe every individual deserves a home filled with hope and belonging. Unfortunately, many adults with disabilities face the heartbreaking risk of homelessness as their caregivers age and housing options remain scarce.
Our mission is to empower adults with developmental disabilities by providing safe housing, comprehensive life skills training, enrichment activities, and a supportive community. We are committed to fostering independence, dignity, and lifelong support, enabling individuals to lead stable, fulfilling lives and significantly reducing the risk of homelessness.
Over 50 adults with disabilities have been supported since 2010.
Preserving Families Home
“This will be more than just a residence – our community will empower adults with developmental disabilities to live with purpose, joy, and lifelong belonging.”
