Creating Opportunity, Transforming Lives…. one scholarship at a time.

To commemorate this milestone anniversary, the Scholarship Foundation celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a Gala held on Saturday, September 15, 2012 at Bacara Resort and Spa. The 50th Anniversary Celebration Gala was an elegant and beautiful night, with the sole purpose of celebrating our history and accomplishments. Guests saw and heard some of the many thousands of words of gratitude that have been expressed to the Scholarship Foundation by scholarship recipients and their families over the last 50 years. The evening included a cocktail hour, followed by a lavish meal accompanied, and a multimedia experience celebrating the transformative effect the Scholarship Foundation has had on the Santa Barbara Community. The program was followed by a fun "after party," where guests mingled and reminisced about their experiences with this special Santa Barbara institution.
