One805 Granting Support 

One805 hosted a grants reception at the Montecito Club handing out a record high of $1,003,000 in checks to First Responder agencies and the One805 Mental Wellness Fund.

The chiefs of all First Responder Agencies in Santa Barbara County were present, including SBC Fire Chief Mark Hartwig, Montecito Fire Chief David Neels, and SBC Sheriff Bill Brown.

Among the supporters were founders Richard and Kirsten Weston-Smith and John Thyne III, Greg Gorga, Rebecca Brand, Peter and Kathryn Martin, the ubiquitous John Palminteri, Lacey Peterson, Alan and Lisa Parsons, Palmer Jackson Jr. and Gretchen Lieff.

The next gala bash is in September at Oscar winner Kevin Costner’s oceanside Carpinteria estate, with a Granada “Rock the First Responders” concert on March 8 with Kenny Loggins, Hootie & the Blowfish, Michael McDonald, and Alan Parsons.
