Friendship Center is deeply grateful to David and Louise Borgatello for their many years of generous support and dedication to our mission, and most recently for sponsoring our Family Reunion & Picnic. đź’š

For many years, David has generously shared his time and leadership as a member of our Board of Directors, now serving as Board Member Emeritus. Together David and Louise have been steadfast supporters helping us make a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults and their caregivers. As part of the MarBorg family, they exemplify the spirit of community, generosity, and caring that makes Santa Barbara so special.
