The Santa Barbara Foundation has named Lompoc native Ginger Salazar and Santa Barbara resident Katina Zaninovich as Persons of the Year, marking the charity's 79th year recognizing individuals for their standout volunteerism and service to the community.
Salazar was born and raised in Lompoc and returned to Santa Barbara County 17 years ago with her husband and four children as a way to give back — just as her parents taught her. The project became a reality in March 2021, and features nine rubberized lanes, an exercise zone and state-of-the-art turf field for use by the public.

In addition to giving back to her hometown, Salazar continues to expand her reach into the South County, having served on the board of the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. She currently sits on the board of Cottage Health, the Santa Barbara Foundation and the Towbes Foundation.
While Zaninovich has worked tirelessly to support causes"near and dear to her heart" for the last 20 years, including volunteering at the all-women's Catholic university — Mount Saint Mary’s in Los Angeles — she more recently volunteered to administer free COVID-19 vaccinations to members of the Santa Barbara community during the pandemic.
