Established in 1984, the Peter and Ginny Ueberroth Family Foundation reflects its founders’ lifelong commitment to giving back. Since they married in 1959, volunteering and staying involved in causes meaningful to them has been an important part of Peter and Ginny’s lives. After the successful conclusion to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, they decided to create a foundation to formalize their philanthropy. Peter was named TIME Magazine Man of the Year in 1984. The foundation was funded through the many speaking requests that followed. Granting has been targeted locally and in the areas of at-risk youth, education, health and human services. Ginny and Vicki Booth, their daughter, have been deeply involved in the community, serving in leadership roles on the boards of the Orange County Community Foundation, Hoag Hospital and Sage Hill School. The Foundation partners with over 70 local non-profits and has invested over $40 million in Orange County. Peter and Ginny’s commitment to giving back and helping others is an inspiration that continues with the second and third generations of their family.
“Our family has been incredibility fortunate. It is a privilege to help provide opportunities to others who are working toward an improved future for themselves and their families.” – Foundation President Vicki Booth, speaking for herself and her parents, Ginny and Peter Ueberroth
