The sold-out event hosted 182 guests including community leaders, business owners, and nonprofit directors.
The Champions Dinner was supported by thirty-six corporate and hospitality sponsors from across Santa Barbara County.
The event raised $171, 787.69 to increase the funding for nine programs in CommUnify’s Family & Youth Services division.
Administrators of CommUnify say this funding will help to expand its programs to serve the youth of Santa Barbara County.
