Kathy and Stan Gustavson’s commitment to community, social justice and helping others improve their lives exemplifies what the People Who Care Award is all about.

Kathy was active in the Pacifica Coop Nursery School, Ocean Shore School, Terra Nova High School Educational Support Team and Counselor, and was appointed to the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission in 1987.

Kathy and Stan have both served on the Pacificans Care Board and as Champions and have been actively involved in Pacificans Care projects including our Casino Night and Speakeasy Night fundraisers, Summer Sweep, and coordination of the Fog Fest Souvenir booth for many years. Kathy served as Corresponding Secretary, Vice President, and President during her 22 years on the Pacificans Care board.

As a Pacificans Care board member, Stan provided pro-bon legal assistance when we needed it, developed the initial model for our planned giving program, always provided wise counsel in our decision-making process, and worked at every event Pacificans Care offered.

Kathy and Stan have truly given back, making Pacifica a better place for all of us.
