Siden 1987 har fondet givet omkring $250 millioner til lokalsamfundet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanessa Bechtel, formand og administrerende direkt\u00f8r for fonden, blev ramt af f\u00f8lelser og tog begejstret scenen, mens Garufis annoncerede prisen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJeg tror ikke, at jeg nogensinde vil glemme dette \u00f8jeblik,\u201d sagde Bechtel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sin modtagelsesadresse fortalte hun en historie om, da hun f\u00f8rste gang m\u00f8dte Towbes, og sagde, at han altid fik hende til at f\u00f8le sig velkommen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sing!, en gratis musikakademi efter skoletid i Santa Barbara County, overraskede g\u00e6sterne med en optr\u00e6den af en hebraisk folkemusik, hvilket gav en kor af \u201caww\u201d-lyder fra g\u00e6sterne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c5rets prisoverr\u00e6kkelse var s\u00e6rligt betydningsfuld, da den fandt sted samme \u00e5r som Montecito Bank &amp; Trusts 50-\u00e5rs jubil\u00e6um, sagde Garufis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrangementet sluttede med en scene helt ud af \u201cWilly Wonka &amp; the Chocolate Factory\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hver g\u00e6st modtog en rapport om konsekvenserne af Montecito Bank &amp; Trust, men skjult inde i fem tilf\u00e6ldige rapporter var der gyldne billetter. De, der vandt gyldne billetter, fik $500 til deres organisation eller kunne donere dem til en anden organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En af modtagerne var Carlos Mendez fra Pacific Pride Foundation, en organisation, der st\u00f8tter LGBTQ+-samfundet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJeg f\u00f8lte virkelig, at Charlie fra \u2018Willy Wonka\u2019 \u00e5bnede den,\u201d sagde han.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Han sagde, at pengene p\u00e5 $500 vil g\u00e5 til Pacific Pride Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrangementet sluttede med, at Garufis delte sin taknemmelighed over for nonprofitorganisationer og opfordrede lokalsamfundet til at g\u00f8re godt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVi ser frem til at se jer ude i lokalsamfundet, og at I g\u00f8r de rigtige ting, selv n\u00e5r ingen ser p\u00e5,\u201d sagde hun.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published by Noozhawk.
