 | The Palo Alto Tall Tree Awards have been announced by The Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce and Palo Alto Weekly. Lee Pfab, is best known locally as the leader of PACCC, the city’s most prominent childcare nonprofit. But her Tall Tree award nomination also highlights her many years of involvement in local nonprofits and civic organizations, including the Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, Youth Community Services and the Chamber of Commerce. |
 | Our Rotarian Kathy Torgersen has been the spark behind countless good causes spanning several decades of service. Her vision and fundraising talent have helped grow the Palo Alto Community Fund, the Foothill-De Anza Foundation and the Foundation for a College Education, and powered campaigns for local leaders like Anna Eshoo, Liz Kniss and Rich Gordon. Lately she has turned her energy to Ukraine, producing events that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for relief and personally driving vehicles and medical supplies across the border with Assist Ukraine. When she isn’t rallying the community, she’s racing: she finished the Hawaii Ironman at 62 and has competed at five World Championships for the USA Triathlon Team. Here’s to Kathy, who brings people together to make lives better here and around the world! |
