United Way of Santa Barbara County hosted its 82nd Annual Awards Luncheon for the 2004-2005 Community Campaign. Master of Ceremonies Debby Davison, KEYT television newscaster, presided at the Hollywood-themed event that attracted about 200 guests. "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.  Henry Dubroff, last year's General Campaign Chair, announced that for the first time in the organization's history, over $3,000,000 was raised in the annual campaign and he thanked all the staff, volunteers and local people for their support and generosity.
