This year St. Anne’s Family Services is excited to present their highest honor, the Angel Award, to William Ahmanson and the Ahmanson Foundation, Hilda L. Solis, LA County Supervisor and Melvin Robert of Spectrum News for their dedicated leadership and support to the people they serve. These individuals have contributed significantly to the community and have exhibited heroic efforts through mission-driven initiatives. In addition to presenting the highest honor award, we are thrilled to present the Triumph Award to Joana Perez highlighting her achievements and work in the community.



If you make honoring a community champion a practice on a regular basis – annually, or even monthly – it keeps people thinking about community service all the time. It leads them to consider what is going on in the community, and who is doing work that deserves the award.



“We’ve very grateful for the leaders in our community and for everything they do. This year we’re recognizing the heroes that worked through the pandemic to help others achieve their goals. For the past two years, we weren’t able to host this ceremony, so it feels good to host it again this year.” – Lorna Little
