SANTA BARBARA The United Way of Santa Barbara County honored “commitment of its planned giving society” at its 34th annual Heritage Club gathering last Wednesday at the La Cumbre Country Club.
The United Way honored Maryan Schall, who first became involved in the organization in 1989, with the 2019 Legacy Fund Supporter of the Year award, along witht 2018’s Legacy Fund Supporter, Earl Damitz, who was unable to the 2018 Heritage Club gathering.
“When United Way made the shift to not only funding other charities, but also providing direct, life-changing, research-based services to children and adults, the fit between the Schalls and United Way became stronger, particularly around their common interest in early childhood education – particularly for Maryan,” Diane Doiron, chairwoman of the UWSBC Planned Giving Committee, said in a press release.
