We are excited to share an overview of what to expect during our Distinguished Citizen Award Happy Hour honoring Judy Kleinberg, current President of the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce and former Mayor of Palo Alto.
Each year, Pacific Skyline Council holds this Benefit to highlight the impact Scouting has on the local community, bring awareness to our outreach programs, and honor individuals who have, through their actions, served as a prime example of the Scouting Spirit. It is also our largest fundraising event each year to support Scouting’s programs and services in our local community.
For the first time ever, due to COVID-19, we had to cancel summer camp and turn all of our activities into virtual events. These activities, whether virtual or live, require a core group of staff to operate, and camps, whether open or closed, require ongoing annual maintenance. Like many other non-profits, our revenue-generating in-person programs and activities have moved to non-revenue virtual events, causing us to rely more than ever on community donations.
Likewise, our Award Dinner, honoring Judy Kleinberg, will be transformed into a Virtual Happy Hour. On Thursday, September 17, 2020, Pacific Skyline Council will stream the Distinguished Citizen Award event online. As you join us, please consider donating at least what an in-person Award event would cost (typically $200-$250) to honor Judy and support Scouting.
