"Academy Award" recognition was presented to local supporters and volunteers in for their outstanding service to the 2004-2005 Community Campaign. Award winners were chosen from 28 categories with a total of 140 nominees.

Paul Didier, Executive Director of United Way of Santa Barbara County, began the luncheon with a brief overview of the past year and a look forward to the future vision and direction of the organization. He also thanked the current board chair, Rick Nightingale of Damitz Brooks Nightingale Turner & Morrisset, and introduced Kent Englert as the incoming board chair for the 2005-2006 campaign year.

Some of the event highlights....The Red Feather Ball raised over $200,000, proceeds from which benefited Fun in the Sun and five other multi-agency activities.
