The Pleasanton Community of Character Collaborative invites you to the 13th annual Community of Character luncheon honoring the Juanita Haugen Community of Character award winners.

This award is named in honor of a longtime community volunteer and Pleasanton Unified School District Board Member, Juanita Haugen. Haugen, a co-founder of the Pleasanton Community of Character program, believed that part of Pleasanton's success is due to its compassionate citizens, folks who exhibit good character traits and those people who volunteer throughout our community. There will be drawings at the luncheon to raise funds for the Juanita Haugen Community of Character Scholarships.

The luncheon takes place on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at the Pleasanton Senior Center at 11:30 a.m. and tickets are $40 per person.
