Hope Awards

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Hope Awards, where we celebrate the local champions of public education. This year, we honor the late Margie Yahyavi, former SBEF Executive Director, and the Children’s Creative Project for their outstanding contributions to our community’s students. The evening begins with a reception at the beautiful Santa Barbara Historical Museum, featuring inspiring student performances, curated bites, and delightful libations. The event will highlight the impact of teachers in our community, with proceeds from the evening supporting our popular Teacher Grants and Student Grants programs.
