The Greater Sun Lakes Community Foundation (GSLCF) has made a grant of $5,000 to Captain Ron Burchett of the Sun Lakes Rangers. This grant is specifically for the Sun Lakes Rangers to purchase first responder kits and AEDs for their vehicles that patrol the Sun Lakes area. Arizona Rangers Sun Lakes Company, as well as the other 22 Arizona Ranger companies throughout the state, are authorized under Arizona revised Statute 41-4201. The Arizona Rangers is an unpaid, non-commissioned civilian auxiliary that is available for the purpose of assisting and supporting law enforcement in Arizona.
The Greater Sun Lakes Community Foundation has been established to enhance the quality of life for the older population in the East Valley, including Sun Lakes residents, in the areas of health, safety, education, and culture.
