Upward Bound House (UBH) will present Debra Granfield & Michael Rich with its 2012 Humanitarian Award at its annual Welcome Home Celebration. The event is being hosted by Sony Studios on their lot Tuesday October 9, 2012 from 6:30pm -9:30pm.
Debra and Michael were early and strong supporters of UBH. Debra served on UBH’s Board of Directors from 1992 – 2000 and was the Board’s Secretary for the entirety of her tenure. Michael Rich, as President & CEO of the RAND Corporation, has provided intellectual capital to support Upward Bound House and our mission of eliminating family homelessness in Los Angeles.
The Humanitarian Award is presented to individuals who demonstrate their commitment to ending family homelessness by providing valuable time and resources to Upward Bound House and encourage community support. Past award winners include Dr. Jane Spiegel & Ruth Leaf (2011), Tom Unterman (2010), Dee Menzies & the Families of Carlthorp School (2008), and UCLA Coach John Wooden (2003).
