NOW VIRTUAL!
MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARDS


The Santa Barbara Foundation’s MAN & WOMAN OF YEAR AWARDS is going online!

We invite you to join us Wednesday, September 2, 2020 for a special one-hour event, honoring and celebrating two extraordinary volunteers who have made a significant and positive impact on the Santa Barbara community.

All are welcome! Virtual doors open at 10:30 AM and the program starts at 11:30 AM.


 Tom Parker and Catherine Remak have been chosen as our 77th Man & Woman of the Year. 

In addition, we are excited to recognize Michael & Marni Cooney as our Outstanding Couple in Service.


The Man & Woman of the Year Award honors Santa Barbara residents whose lifetime of volunteer service represents a meaningful commitment to the community, with an emphasis on the accomplishments 

and achievements that occurred in 2019.


While we will miss gathering in person at the Coral Casino this year, we are excited to carry forward our tradition of honoring the incredible philanthropy of our community members in this new and exciting way.

STUCK, HAVE QUESTIONS, OR CAN'T GET IN?
