Our 27th annual Catch the Vision Awards Dinner is honoring...

 

HKS Architects

and

Loyola Marymount University

Center for Service and Action

 

ABOUT OUR HONOREES

We returned to our youth center this year after more than a year of renovations. An unexpected and welcome result has been interior design improvements thanks in large part to the Loyola Marymount University Center for Service and Action, and HKS Architects, designer of the Rams SoFi Stadium.

 

Dr. Lezlee Matthews, Professor Saeri Dobson and Librarian Jamie Hazlitt at LMU, and Leslie Fishburn and Jeanette Dvorak at HKS led the charge in providing plans, volunteers and in-kind donations that helped bring us home. Supporters referred by our honorees, including Mannington Commercial and Sherwin-Williams, will be recognized as well. We are eternally grateful to our friends and look forward to honoring them and celebrating a safe and nurturing and beautiful environment for our students!
