Mission for Mentors Telethon Update!

Over 60 community members volunteered their time to help us raise mentors from south Santa Barbara county. We were able to raise over 90 potential mentors, totaling over 4,700 hours pledged to work with our youth! Below are some pictures, taken by our fabulous photographer, Carolyn Newstrom, who volunteered her time to help us document this! More pictures can be found at: SmugMug. Thanks so much again to Venoco, Inc. and the Hutton Foundation for making this event possible!!


Our phone answerers were mentors, board members, and other giving members of the community.








Looking out over the event!
