Lafayette native and UC Davis student Anna Peare and was recently named the UC Davis recipient of the Donald A. Strauss Foundation Scholarship for her project titled the Amigos de las Américas: Backyard Program, which aims to give youth of all backgrounds the opportunity to become catalysts for positive development and change in their own community. The Donald A. Strauss Public Service Scholarship Foundation, established as a memorial to the late Don Strauss of Newport Beach, awards $10,000 scholarships to as many as 15 California college sophomores or juniors annually. The Strauss scholarships fund public service projects that the students have proposed and will carry out during their junior or senior year. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than 240 scholarships, and like their counterparts in the past, all of the new recipients have extensive records of community and public service, as well as a demonstrated desire to "make a difference."
