2007 Award Recipient:
The Richard & Maryan Schall Family
 In
1986, Dick and Maryan discovered sunny Santa Barbara. They built
a house in the hills, and in the decades since, have shown themselves
to be the best of neighbors. They contribute continuously, and
invest their time on a great number of local boards and organizations,
including Planned Parenthood of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San
Luis Obispo, the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, and
the Sansum Clinic. In 2003, they were honored as Philanthropists
of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. In
2004, the Schalls acted as facilitators, provided the seed money
for, and joined others in contributing to the development of a
fully-accredited alternative high school, Summit High, for youth
who had completed treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction
and were committed to sobriety. Through those efforts and countless
others, the Schalls have proven many times over their passion
for helping the youngest and neediest of our neighbors here in
Santa Barbara.
Dick
and Maryan’s generosity has gifted many worthy organizations
in our community around the nation, including Emmaus of Santa
Barbara, the UCSB Affiliates, SEE International, the Arts Fund,
Direct Relief International, and CALM. Because of their incredible
generosity, they are worthy recipients of the Pierre Claeyssens
Award for Distinguished Service.
The
Schalls have four children – David, Caryn, Janny and Dawn.
