Denee Burns worked at Sunbird from 2023-2026 as Chief of Staff. But her legacy will continue forever. She was a self-storage industry icon. Unmistakable with her sparkly shoes and infectious smile. Lighting up every room she entered like a ray of sunshine. Denee picked up others when they were down, encouraged those who were struggling and served the homeless. She prayed for everyone she met. Denee was an angel on Earth and we were lucky enough to spend a few years with her. She taught us how to be better humans. Denee ended all of her communications by saying “Blessings on you!”. This page is dedicated to Denee Burns. It lists the non-profits that Sunbird has blessed with monetary donations in Denee’s honor.
Camp Alandale is a Christian non-profit organization that serves abused and neglected children, 4th - 12th grade, through a mountain camp program. Camp Alandale currently serves Orange County and Riverside County in Southern California and plans to expand to other surrounding counties. Since 1980 and with the help of many volunteer counselors, over 4,000 special children have been touched by the love of Jesus Christ. All campers are foster children and live in group homes or foster homes. Camp Alandale provides the campers with an atmosphere of safety and careful attention through our small program and a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio. Each year there are 20-26 campers/week for five summer camps and 20-28 campers/weekend for four winter camps. It is the heart of the staff at Camp Alandale that children who come to camp would be introduced to the life changing and healing reality of Jesus Christ and be equipped to have meaningful and productive lives.
