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 profiding 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.”

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the unique abilities, talents, and contributions of those with Down syndrome, while also recognizing the challenges they face as they grow older.
For many adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, aging alongside their parents or caregivers can create uncertainty about the future. That’s why our Preserving Families Home initiative is so vital. Ensuring older adults with Down syndrome and other disabilities have a safe, stable place to live when family members are no longer able to provide care.
This month, let’s not only raise awareness but also work together to build lasting solutions that protect dignity, independence, and community for every stage of life.

Thank you, Desert Foothills Community and Scully Learning Center family and friends.
Fill A Shell Fund A Home was a tremendous success! With 100 tickets sold and over $30,000 raised, we took another giant step toward making Preserving Families Home a reality.
This event united community leaders, families, service agencies, and local businesses from across Arizona to raise critical funds for Scully Learning Center’s solution to prevent homelessness among current intellectually and developmentally disabled adults living with aging parents or guardians. These individuals face uncertain futures when their caregivers can no longer provide for them—Preserving Families Home will change that.
Even more meaningful, new friends and supporters joined our mission—and we had so much fun doing it. Entertainment from Ray Tigerman and NGR Music Group had the crowd singing along to familiar hits, including our own “Heroes From Above.” Guests left energized and excited for future events like Gabe’s World, a sensory dining experience for the blind.
We also launched our next fundraiser—hand-crafted greeting cards perfect for birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, or just sending a heartfelt note. Cards can be purchased on our website for $30 per set of 12, with proceeds directly funding Preserving Families Home. It’s a simple, meaningful way to support creativity, local arts, and lives right here in the Desert Foothills community.
We are deeply grateful to Stumblina’s Cantina, Ray Tigerman, our generous auction donors, matching ticket sponsors, volunteers (including Cave Creek School District’s Key Club and National Honor Society), and every attendee who brought this vision to life. Your donations, spirit, time, energy, and attention to detail made this event unforgettable.
We are truly blessed to be part of such an incredible community.
With gratitude,
Paula Scully
