4 2012 - 2013 Giving Guide Advertising Supplement pacific Coast Business Times

Welcome to the second annual edition of the Giving Guide presented by the Pacific Coast Business Times.We were thrilled with the feedback we received last year with our inaugural publication of the Giving Guide. Connecting our readership with the important work of local nonprofits is a mission that we think is fundamental to building a more vibrant regional economy. During the production of this year’s Giving Guide, I was once again struck by the level and quality of corporate philanthropy in our region. Tri-county businesses continue to employ a “give back where we live and work” philosophy, despite economic difficulties.This strong culture of philanthropy and

service continues to strengthen the entire community. Reading through

the profiles of these great organizations, it is inspiring to see the partnership between the nonprofits featured and businesses, whether it’s executive volunteers on boards, corporate sponsorship of fundraising events or companies sponsoring organizations in the Giving

Guide.Once again the profiles feature a dynamic range of programming in areas from youth development to arts and education to disaster preparedness. You will see that our nonprofits reach a diverse group of clients and deliver a broad spectrum of services.We hope our readers will find the

Giving Guide a useful tool in helping executives, leaders and employees consider their philanthropic engagement.In terms of production for this year’s Giving Guide, I must extend a special thank you to our Advertising Designer Elizabeth Willhite, Advertising Executives Jared Godinez and Veronica Kusmuk, and Marketing Director Jennifer Hemmy for their extraordinary efforts in putting together this publication. I would also like to thank our cover sponsors for their generosity and continued commitment to the Giving Guide. They are: Wells Fargo, Aera Energy, Food Share, St. John’s Hospitals, Montecito Bank & Trust, Santa Barbara Foundation, United Way of Ventura and Ventura County Community Foundation.

The 2012 Giving Guide represents our second year of leveraging the resources of the Pacific Coast Business Times to support the nonprofit community.Thanks again to the efforts of Publisher Linda le Brock and the entire advertising team, our Giving Guide for Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties continues to exceed all of our expectations.For 2012 we have produced profiles for a growing number of nonprofits on the Central Coast. In doing so, we are providing a handy guide for donors, potential volunteers, prospective employees and board members.The Giving Guide is a section that is largely advertorial in nature. That means the organizations profiled in the section have pre-approved the profiles we publish. They have either directly

provided the funding for their pages or that funding has been provided by sponsors.

That way, our Giving Guide allows each organization to craft its own message to the broader community and showcase its services and capacity in a way that is not constrained by our editorial guidelines. We also give the materials in our sections to each organization so it can incorporate that information into

its fundraising and community outreach efforts.Since our very first publication more than 12 years ago, the Pacific Coast Business Times has been committed to giving back. We provide approximately $200,000 a year in media sponsorship space to a wide range of community outreach efforts. We support economic forecasts, enterprise forums and entrepreneurship-support events across

the region. We also support service organizations and, on occasion, arts and cultural organizations that want to reach our audience.And our staff volunteers hundreds of hours a year serving on community boards and lending a hand where needed.We are pleased to underwrite the cost of printing nearly 1,000 additional copies of the Giving Guide that will be distributed at the United Way Spirit of Philanthropy Awards this month and the National Philanthropy Day awards luncheon being produced later this fall by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. We also will be making copies available to those attending the Economic Vitality Corp. holiday reception in San Luis Obispo County.•For suggestions and comments, contact Chairman Henry Dubroff at [email protected].

At Wells Fargo, we are a bank that works hard to help our customers and communities succeed. When they succeed, so do we. We have demonstrated that belief throughout our 160-year history of providing for our customers, employing a strong and diverse workforce, and helping our communities find solutions to social, economic, and environmental issues.

As an organization, we’ve certainly changed over the past 160 years, but our commitment to social responsibility and corporate citizenship has not faltered; in fact, it’s only strengthened. It is part of our Vision & Values, and it’s how we do business every day.

In 2011, Wells Fargo invested $213.5 million in 19,000 nonprofits, including $67.8 million to educational programs and schools, and $63.2 million to nonprofits focused on community development in distressed communities, including affordable housing, homeownership counseling, financial education, workforce development, and job creation.

The company was named the third-largest corporate cash donor by The Chronicle of Philanthropy in 2011, and we’re very proud of the positive impact these contributions have made in cities and neighborhoods across the nation. Yet, our commitment to community investment goes

beyond those dollars.

We are focused on helping our communities gain access to the marketplace to create true, sustainable economic development that will help communities thrive. In addition to grant giving, we’re teaching financial education, providing custom financing for projects that don’t have access to traditional financing, creating affordable and sustainable housing, and building an even stronger supplier network that reflects the demographics of Pacific Coast communities.

Thank you to our loyal customers and nonprofit partners for helping us be successful and for joining with us to make our Pacific Coast communities stronger.

When Henry Dubroff and Linda le Brock came to visit us last year to describe their vision of publishing a Giving Guide that would showcase the extraordinary work of local nonprofi ts, we enthusiastically supported their idea. The PCBT Giving Guide provides so many organizations the opportunity to tell their own stories and readers to identify opportunities for giving, volunteering and even employment in the nonprofi t sector. We are proud to be a cover sponsor and one of the fi rst local companies to say “yes, we’ll help!”The nonprofi t community cannot thrive on the generosity of individuals alone. Our local nonprofi ts need the support of our local business community. This support can begin in small steps and it can take many forms from volunteerism, to providing in-kind services and yes, money - through corporate and employee contributions. Montecito Bank & Trust’s commitment to corporate philanthropy is well known and our founder’s longstanding commitment to our nonprofi t community is unrivaled. But it’s not the fi nancial commitments we make each year that make the only difference. Our vision is a simple one – to make the communities we serve better places to live and work. For 37 years, Montecito Bank & Trust has incorporated this into its core values and our employees strive every day to make our vision come alive.While our grant making activities, like our Anniversary GrantsSM and Community Dividends® programs, seem to attract the most public attention, we are equally proud of the leadership role we take in supporting community-based events like the Santa Barbara Triathlon and its annual fundraising support for a local nonprofi t benefi ciary or the “wildly” exciting Carnival of the Animals event at the Music Academy of the West. Our enduring commitment to strengthen the communities we serve by sharing time, talent and treasure is evident in all of the ways our Bank and our associates give back. In good times and in bad. No matter the size or age of your business, you can make a difference. It all starts with YOU. As you read the Giving Guide, you are sure to fi nd at least one nonprofi t organization whose story speaks to your passion. On behalf of everyone at Montecito Bank & Trust, I invite you to join us in support of the critical work of our nonprofi t friends. It’s a responsibility we all need to share.

Sincerely,

Janet A. Garufi s President and Chief Executive Offi cerMontecito Bank & Trust

At St. John’s Hospitals, we are committed to the wellness of our community and our patients. We are motivated by compassion, to be kind, forgiving, and to break barriers for those who cannot. We value excellence, quality, responsibility, creativity and innovation. Our purpose is health, our spirit is strong. With this in mind, it is our goal every day to provide quality services that enhance wellness and healing, improve health in mind, body and spirit, and advocate for the disadvantaged. These quality services include 24-hour emergency medical services, orthopedic services, cancer care, a nationally recognized cardiovascular research program, diagnostic imaging and women’s services, surgical weight loss, wound care and hyperbaric medicine, palliative care and spiritual care services, and much more. But none of this would be possible without the help of St. John’s Healthcare Foundation. The Foundation is comprised of fi ve staff and thirty-fi ve board of directors who reach out to other generous community members for philanthropic support, which makes it possible for our hospitals to carry out our mission in the communities we serve every day. I am excited to share that our partnership with the Avon Foundation for Women has produced a grant to support educational programs and the fi rst nurse navigator in western Ventura County for the oncology program at St. John’s. The addition of a nurse navigator has proven to be benefi cial for cancer patients, and we are proud to provide more personalized care through our already outstanding oncology program. Earlier this year, another grant from a local foundation funded the da Vinci Si Robotic Surgical System at our Oxnard campus. This system is the most technologically advanced surgical platform available today and provides a number of benefi ts to our patients, including shorter hospital stays, reduced blood loss and fewer blood transfusions, minimized side effects, faster recuperation and reduced post-operative pain, and smaller incisions that lessen the likelihood of infection. I am so thankful to have the support of local philanthropic leaders who recognize the innovative surgical procedures being performed at St. John’s as evidenced through this remarkable donation. Not only do we provide outstanding care within the walls of our hospitals, but we also engage in a wide range of outreach activities designed to promote and maintain good health in our communities. Our educational and health care programs are broad-based and impact the most vulnerable populations. In Fiscal Year 2011, St. John’s Hospitals provided more than $64 million in unsponsored care and programs benefi tting underserved populations in our community. Through our community outreach programs and partnerships with local organizations, St. John’s offers health screenings, immunizations for children and adults, health education, and promotion and disease prevention programs. Additionally, through the Dignity Health Community Grants Program, St. John’s dedicates substantial resources to strengthen and enrich the community, ensuring that essential health and social services are accessible to all. In Fiscal Year 2012, St. John’s conferred grants to ten local non-profi t organizations, resulting in nearly $155,000 in community benefi t. Individually, we can’t provide for all the needs that exist in the communities we serve, but collectively we can make a signifi cant impact. It is with deep gratitude that I thank the generous donors who have made each of these programs a reality at St. John’s Hospitals. Thank you to those who have made sacrifi ces to support our healing ministry. Thank you for partnering with us to provide compassionate care to the thousands of patients who come through our doors each year. And thank you to those of you who will support us into the future, allowing us to do even greater and more innovative things than we can currently imagine. To fi nd out how you can partner with us, please call St. John’s Healthcare Foundation at (805) 988-2868.

Thank you,

For Santa Barbara County, “giving” is not just a word. It is backed by the action of many wanting to make a difference. Action by those who are inspired to help their neighbors, who want to make sure seniors stay engaged and active, who want to make sure all our kids acquire the academic and life skills to become responsible, creative, and contributing adults, who want to encourage a sustainable and thriving economy, and those who want to make sure the arts are alive and well. Simply stated, throughout the county, everyday, caring individuals are making a positive impact through collaboration, ingenuity, and by practicing the wonderful habits of philanthropy. We are pleased to be a gold sponsor for the Giving Guide as it provides important information for all those actively engaged in making Santa Barbara County the best it can be.

The Santa Barbara Foundation was founded in 1928, by a forward thinking individual named Major Max Fleischmann. Initially interested in supporting the grand tradition of band music for the people of Santa Barbara, Max ended up leaving a legacy that grew into a broad-based community foundation that, 84-years later, continues to enrich the lives of the residents of our county, from Santa Maria to Carpinteria.

Now a philanthropic hub, the foundation serves people, families, and organizations who want to make an investment in the county and/or actualize their philanthropic objectives anywhere in the country...and even internationally. Working in partnership with other foundations, key community decision-makers, and donor investors, the foundation seeks to engage the citizenry, and provide financial and intellectual capital to bring about vibrant communities throughout the county. We are intentional about using every tool at our disposal to facilitate the building of philanthropy, strengthening the nonprofit sector, and identifying and strategically addressing important community opportunities and needs.

The foundation works creatively with a wide range of partners to solve problems, take advantage of timely opportunities, invigorate nonprofit leadership, support our students, and just as important, celebrate the people, organizations, and efforts that define what is best about Santa Barbara. Our work is also focused on the covenants made with generations of donors who have entrusted us with philanthropic capital. Even during these challenging times, the Santa Barbara Foundation continues to demonstrate that it is a trusted partner in philanthropy and has, accordingly, been able to expand its services to and impact on communities throughout the county. In total, the foundation, in partnership with its family of donor investors, awarded over $17 million in grants in 2011. This included over $15 million for more than 1,700 grants to nonprofits and $1.8 million in student aid to nearly 700 young adults and their families.

At the end of the day, we strive to be a value-added partner to our donors, nonprofit organizations, and community members throughout the county with the simple complementary goals of making philanthropy work for everyone. Guided by compassion for the most vulnerable and those most in need of help, excellence in what we support and with whom we partner, and integrity with a focus on stewardship and transparency, the foundation is committed to a more vibrant, engaged, and meaningfully connected Santa Barbara County…for all.

Twenty-fi ve years is just the beginningIn 1987, the Soviet Empire began to crumble, the Dow took a 622 point nosedive one October morning and a small group of Ventura County leaders planted a stake in the ground for the future. Led by respected rancher Alan Teague and inspired by their love of this place we call home, the founding board members of the Ventura County Community Foundation set about creating an organization where local donors could put their generosity to work in their own communities. And not just for today or next week, but – through steady stewardship of those donated dollars – forever. In the early days, VCCF founders paid the light bill from their own checkbooks. Now 25 years later, thanks to their vision, the leadership of our board, the dedicated work of staff and volunteers and the generosity of thousands of your neighbors, VCCF’s charitable assets have reached $110 million.Our investment strategies for these permanent endowments have been ranked in the top 11 of all community foundations in the nation, and we have been reconfi rmed in compliance with national standards for U.S. Community Foundations, the highest form of peer review. We refl ect the core value that together we can do more than any of us can do individually. All of this money exists for the purpose of improving the lives of the people of Ventura County. Over our quarter of a century, we have: • Awarded $8.2 million in scholarships to students like Nic Molina. The son of farmworkers and the fi rst person in his family to attend college, Nic received fi nancial aid from the McFarlane and Orfalea scholarships at VCCF. “The money,” said Nic, “helped me focus more on school. The investment that donors make can make the difference for all students.” Today, Nic is studying at Yale Law School.• Invested in building the skills and leadership of our fellow nonprofi ts through the VCCF Center for Nonprofi t Leadership. It is where nonprofi t staff and board leaders learn how to use the donations they receive to deliver their mission better. These skills can be a matter of life and death not only for the charity itself but for the often hundreds of people it serves. In a large part because of the popularity of the classes taught at the Center for Nonprofi t Leadership, VCCF has outgrown its quarters. We recently purchased a building in Camarillo that will allow us to triple the space of the Center and to lease rental space at below market cost to our fellow nonprofi ts. Learn more about the VCCF Nonprofi t Center elsewhere in this issue. • Made over $68 million in grants to local nonprofi ts so they can carry out their missions. How much do these grants matter? Ask the uninsured woman who learned she had cancer at the Conejo Free Clinic. A $5,000 grant from the Women’s Legacy Fund at VCCF covered screening for female cancers. Hers might have gone undetected if not for this program. Today she is thriving. • Provided research that assists our civic leaders in getting to the facts for public policy issues, helping set informed priorities – something that becomes more critical as California goes through cycle after cycle of budget shortages. In 2007, the Ventura Civic Alliance at VCCF published its acclaimed State of Region Report to provide unbiased research on 12 quality-of-life indicators for Ventura County. The report is being updated with fresh and accurate data and will be released next year. Our founders leveraged their love of Ventura County into an institution that protects forever the legacy of thousands of donors, keeps nonprofi ts working, gives students a means to achieve their dreams and engages our region as we shape our future. That remains the unique power of a community foundation.Our great opportunity is to shape over the next 25 years, and beyond, a future that will carry on the work of our founders to strengthen community itself, serving the people of Ventura County in so many ways. Come join us in this good work, because together we can do more.

Hugh Ralston, President and CEO

Investing today is an investment in tomorrow.

Simply put, that is the message of the United Way of Ventura County: The investment opportunities we provide today result in critical investment value that will benefi t local residents in the future.We take that charge seriously, focusing on issues, challenges and opportunities where United Way can partner with other organizations to make a positive impact today -- and a lasting difference tomorrow.For example, in early 2013 United Way of Ventura County will bring to the table a host of health-care providers and interested partners for a symposium focused on a critical health issue in our community: How to make sure our youth receive preventative dental care that is critical to a child’s overall health and well-being.This important oral health meeting will be the result of many hours of research and discussion by UWVC’s Health Focus Team which has targeted oral health concerns as a means of making a lasting difference in Ventura County. It’s a known fact kids with dental concerns – kids who have trouble smiling when they head off to school in the morning – are facing health issues today that ultimately lead to broader health issues in the future. Fact is, no youngster in our community should experience the pain associated with improper dental care, or worse yet experience the lack of dental care altogether.Early in 2013, then, a list of concerned organizations, including the Santa Barbara/Ventura Counties Dental Care Foundation, the Dental Care Society, Ventura County Public Health, First 5 Ventura County, the Ventura County Offi ce of Education and Child Development Resources, will join UWVC for the purpose of developing an action plan for the future, a plan designed to put the community’s focus on this serious community-wide health issue.Plans for UWVC’s oral health symposium are just one example of how UWVC’s investment designed to address community issues results in positive community impact. A few other examples include:

• In partnership with Interface Children & Family Services, First 5 Ventura County, several Ventura County cities and the county of Ventura, UWVC has been instrumental in the success of 2-1-1 Ventura County, a 24/7 social services hotline that this year will answer nearly 22,000 calls from concerned county residents.• Through a leadership role with the county’s Financial Empowerment Partnership, UWVC helped 1,126 lower-income families achieve tax credits and refunds totaling nearly $1.8 million in 2012, through the Earn It! Keep It! Save It! no-cost income tax preparation program.• Once again in 2012, UWVC’s “Stuff the Bus” program satisfi ed the needs of homeless kids or youngsters from low-income families by providing 525 backpacks stuffed with new school supplies – assuring a positive back-to-school experience for those in dire fi nancial straits.• Volunteer Ventura County, a United Way program, is a Volunteer Center that connected more than 9,000 people with 203 partner organizations and their volunteer opportunities in the last year alone through its interactive website at VolunteerVenturaCounty.org.• Through a partnership with the Ventura County Community Foundation, First 5 Ventura County, 2-1-1 Ventura County, FOOD Share and nearly 40 other social service organizations, UWVC is making a difference in response to critical basic needs -- food, shelter, access to health care and 2-1-1 -- through its support of the Ventura County Together collaborative.For 67 years -- since the beginning in 1945 of the War Chest of Ventura County, the precursor to United Way -- Ventura County residents have benefi tted from an investment-in-community approach designed to make a lasting difference. Thank you for investing today in our community’s well-being for tomorrow.

We wouldn’t be where we are without the EVC because they were essential in helping us fund the first phase of our business with advice and capital.” —Caroline Duell, Founder Elemental Herbs

I started my business here, because

this is where I want to live

EVC nurtured Elemental Herbs…Elemental Herbs started with a simple vision to create products for everyday use and give consumers a connection to the natural world. Based on the Central Coast, the organic body care company uses certified organic herbs, which are traditionally used in medicinal formulas, in products like sun care, sore muscle spray, lip balms, salves and lotions. The EVC helped the company go from selling just one product at the local farmers’ market six years ago to now partnering with more than 700 retailers nationwide.

Supporting the EVC is a way to make a difference to entrepreneurs who choose to live and work on the Central Coast. Your donations to this local nonprofit organization supports the health of small businesses, and healthy businesses mean healthy communities.

Casa Pacifica Centers for Children & Families

Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families is a crisis-care and residential treatment facility for abused, neglected, or at-risk children in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. The agency is the largest non-profit provider of children’s mental health services in both counties and administers both campus-based and community-based programs which are designed to strengthen families and keep children in their homes.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is central to fulfilling one of society’s most fundamental obligations by making sure a qualified, compassionate adult will fight for and protect a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to learn and grow in the safe embrace of a loving family. We are able to do this by providing a highly trained volunteer to advocate for them in the court system.

Easy Lift Transportation

You see Easy Lift vehicles every day. But what you might not see behind the windows are our passengers. The frail senior who can shop for her own groceries. The disabled woman who can work at the Cancer Center. The abused child who can get counseling at CALM. The grieving widow who can participate in Hospice counseling. These are just a few examples of the thousands of lives we enhance by providing them with freedom…the freedom to access services and live full, rewarding lives. And they are the reason why Easy Lift deserves your vote.

Hugs for Cubs

The Hugs for Cubs “buddy” program was created in 1995 by Santa Barbara Foresters pitcher Eric Pintard, before he lost his fight to a rare form of spinal cancer. Each year, players from the national-champion summer-league baseball team continue Eric’s work by acting as mentors to local children battling cancer. The team fulfills wishes with group outings to MLB baseball games and bowling nights, signing autographs, and reading stories in hospitals. For more than 20 years, Foresters players have been proud to represent our community on the national baseball stage, but even more proud of the joy they have brought kids and families battling cancer. Hit a home run by voting for Hugs for Cubs so we can keep fighting the fight!

St. John’s Seminary was established in 1939.

About Don Juan Camarillo donated 100 acres of land in 1927 to establish St. John’s Seminary, which opened its doors in 1939. The seminary has been educating priests and lay ministry ever since. As part of their education and formation program in prepara-tion for the priesthood St. John’s seminarians volunteer their time in local hospitals, senior citizen centers, farm worker service organizations, schools and social justice programs. Seminarians come to St. John’s from diverse backgrounds, ages and professions. The average age of the seminarians is now over 30, and many have pursued other degrees and worked as law-yers, engineers, business owners or other professionals before coming to St. John’s. The diversity of the St. John’s community is what makes it such a vibrant place for the spiritual and edu-cational development of priests, deacons and other lay ministry.

This signature event includes presenting awards to honor the three founders of the War Chest of Ventura County, the precursor to the United Way of Ventura County – Milton M. Teague, Douglas Shively, and Roy Pinkerton. In addition to these special awards, the event honors United Way’s Top 10 corporate accounts as well as presenting the Chairman’s Award, United Women’s Leadership Council’s “Turning Compassion Into Action” Award, and the United Way’s Young Leaders Society’s “Youth Empowerment” Award.

The breadth of the Westmont curriculum develops effective moral leaders who make meaningful contributions wherever they go.

Preston Hannibal ’71 has invested his life in the church and in education. An Episcopal priest, he has served as a chaplain at secondary schools and at Harvard. Today, as canon for academic and transition ministries for the Diocese of Washington, D.C., he works with chaplains at 20 Episcopal schools serving 5,000 students, prepares candidates for ordination, and preaches at the National Cathedral. In 2008, he helped establish the Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys, a primary school for inner-city, African-American youth in Anacostia. Families pay no tuition and sign a contract to volunteer at the school and support their sons. A sociology major at Westmont, Preston seeks to provide mentors for the boys at Bishop Walker School like the ones who inspired him when he was growing up.

Born to an Iranian Muslim father and an American Christian mother, Josh Daneshforooz ’08 brings together people from different faiths while holding firm to his own Christian beliefs. He leads multi-faith conversations that allow Christians and Muslims to join hands through interreligious community service, to open their hearts by sharing testimonies, and to educate their minds through visits to churches and mosques. As president of All Nations Education, he helps provide college scholarships to young adults in the developing world. He led classes on leadership for community organizers as a teaching fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government in 2010-11. A philosophy major, he earned a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in comparative religion.

After graduating with a major in sociology and a minor in economics and business, Jenise Steverding ’97 held different jobs with Santa Barbara businesses and in higher education, searching for a career. In 2006, she earned a master’s degree in public management at SDA Bocconi University, a business school in Milan, Italy, and did an internship in urban renewal in a township of Johannesburg, South Africa. She then worked as director of advancement, programs and administration for Giving Children Hope, a relief organization that responds to emergencies like the Haitian earthquake. Today, as senior giving account manager for TOMS, she works with non-profits to support the health and education of children worldwide by providing new shoes.

Living in Uzbekistan as a Peace Corps volunteer inspired Sarah Tobin ’98 to study anthropology. She earned a master’s degree at the University of South Florida and a doctorate at Boston University, conducting field research in Cairo and Jordan and developing expertise in economic anthropology, Islam, and gender in the Middle East. Her post-doctoral work at Wheaton College in Massachusetts includes editing a volume on anthropological perspectives of Islamic banking and considering how Islamic symbols in advertising have become part of economic practice. Sarah majored in English and says two college experiences shaped her: participating in Potter’s Clay in Ensenada, Mexico, and attending a conference on cultural diversity that exposed her to fundamental differences among people.

charities in Santa Barbara that focus on education, environmental issues and community outreach.

The organizations we support share our values and our commitment to improving the lives of people in our

local community. But it’s not all about writing checks. Through the Deckers Goods program, employees are

encouraged to volunteer their time in the local community. Deckers pays full-time employees up to 24-hours

every year for volunteering at nonprofit organizations during normal work hours. If an employee logs 100

hours of volunteer time, Deckers gives a $1,000 grant to the employee’s charity of choice.

The Festival’s Legacy Since its founding in 1947, Ojai has been a musi-cal laboratory for leading artists of the 20th and 21st century. Aaron Copland, Igor Stravinsky, Pierre Boulez, Michael Tilson Thomas, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Dawn Upshaw, Steve Reich, and eighth blackbird, among many others, have all made Ojai their summer retreat to explore and rejuvenate.

The Festival’s legacy of innovation in artistic programming rests upon a unique creative partnership where each year a different artist or ensemble serves as music director, working un-der the guidance of Artistic Director Thomas W. Morris, and is given the freedom and resources to realize their unique musical vision to share with Festival audiences. Over the course of four days, the Festival presents concerts, symposia, pre-concert discussions, fi lm screenings, and free community events.

The 67th Ojai Music Festival, June 6-9, 2013, will be led by noted American choreographer Mark Morris, who will present a focus on Ameri-can artistic colleagues and American music. Mr. Morris, who is the fi rst dancer/choreogra-pher to serve as Music Director of the Ojai Mu-sic Festival, is the recipient of numerous awards in recognition of his contributions to the arts, including a MacArthur fellowship and the presti-gious Leonard Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award for the Elevation of Music in Society.

The Festival’s BRAVO! music education program In addition to offering exceptional musical performances, the mission of the Ojai Music Festival is to foster the next generation of artists and audiences by providing in-depth programs that are accessible to a broad audience. The Festival propagates this mission with the BRAVO! music education program, the Arts Manage-ment Internship program and community outreach.

BRAVO! reaches all public elementary and secondary school children in the Ojai Valley, as well as two schools in the greater Ventura County area. Students are introduced to music theory and are encouraged to explore their own musical interests while integrating music with other core academic subjects.

The Festival’s Arts Management Internship pro-gram offers young adults and pre-professionals

interested in careers in music and non-profi t work a unique glimpse into the fast-paced world of Festival life. Interns often come from all over the country with backgrounds in vary-ing fi elds. The program provides interns with experiential learning opportunities in nonprofi t administration, operations, marketing, special events, and stage production.

Community outreach initiatives have included free concerts, fi lm viewings, and public lectures. This past year, the Ojai Music Festival began with a performance of John Luther Adams’ Inuksuit in Libbey Park, two Late Night concerts at Libbey Bowl and three fi lm screenings at the Ojai Theater.

Fall fundraising event:16th annual Holiday Home Look In November 17 & 18, 2012 Presented by the Ojai Festivals Women’s Com-mittee, the Holiday Home Look In is a tour of four distinctive Ojai Valley homes that will re-fl ect the unique Ojai style of living. In addition, the event includes the Holiday Marketplace with more than 40 artisans and vendors. For sponsorship and tickets call (805) 646-2094 or email [email protected]

Ways to Get Involved Built on the passion of a community of volun-teers nearly seven decades ago, the Festival continues to rely on the generous support and enthusiasm of others, from individual donors and corporate sponsors to national and local foundations and planned giving programs. For more information on the Festival’s numerous giving opportunities, call Anna Wagner at (805) 646-2094 ext 105 or email [email protected].

In addition, the Festival remains strong through its remarkable volunteer program which in-cludes the Ojai Festivals Women’s Committee, a 100-member strong organization dedicated to realizing the vision of the Festival. During the Festival weekend, volunteers assist in many facets of helping create a total immersion experience for patrons. Responsibilities include special event support, operations and produc-tion and patron services. For more information on volunteering, email [email protected] or visit OjaiFestival.org.
