Santa Barbara Sports Volunteer of the Month

This monthly series is made possible by Pacific Western Bank

ABOUT

Volunteers often go under-recognized even though they are extremely important to the athletic community.

So important that many of the sporting events and organizations key to our lives wouldn’t be possible without those who donate their time to assist others.

This award is made possible by Pacific Western Bank.

This new monthly spotlight series is our way of thanking those that selflessly give themselves for the benefit of many.

To all volunteers making a difference, we salute you.

Feel free to email worthy candidates for Volunteer of the Month to info@presidiosports.com.
