The Warne Family Charitable Foundation was founded in 2001 by Miriam and Thomas Warne who met at Fullerton College while playing violin in the Orchestra. Miriam and Thomas had a passion for helping people and now the tradition of helping the community is continued with their children and grandchildren.

The mission of the Foundation is to support critical medical research, especially in the areas of lymphoma and related forms of cancer; to provide educational opportunities for underserved children, especially in the areas of art and agriculture, and to enhance the quality of life for families in the communities in which the extended Warne family lives.
