Introducing

The Beach Cities Medicine Charitable Fund

Helping those less fortunate around the world

It started in Nigeria in 1994

From Dr. Wallis' commitment to go into medicine while in Nigeria in 1994, he's been dedicated to finding ways to support those on the ground who sacrifice so much, efficiently caring for the sick and poor overseas.

Three decades later, we're still finding ways to do that. We are inviting you to join us.

Every year, another home

We as a BCM family now partner with Dr. Wallis every year to build another home for a deserving family in Mexico, working side by side with the family who will live in it.

Nobody cries over lumber

They cry over a door that locks to keep their few belongings secure; over a concrete floor that is proven to improve the health of their children; over a roof that keeps them dry in the rain.

These are firsts for most home recipients.

Healing where help is hard to reach

Much of what we support is care: clinics, hospital ships, children's rehabilitation, and medical relief after disaster.

$1 Million+

In addition to volunteering our time and effort, we've already donated over $1 Million to support those faithfully caring for the sick and poor around the world.

We would love for you to join us in helping others, as our impact is multiplied when we work together.

There's room in the boat for you to come and row alongside of us!
