SUMMARY:Kathie Lembo\, CEO - SBCS
DESCRIPTION:SBCS began in 1971 as a tiny drop-center for drug-abusing teens. Under Kathie Lembo’s leadership as President and CEO since 1982\, it has grown into one of the largest social service and community development agencies in the County\, and touches the lives of 50\,000 people every year. They offer 50 different programs that provide supportive services to children\, youth and families throughout San Diego. \nKathie led the SBCS team in taking immediate action to support San Diegans hardest hit by COVID-19: securing hotel rooms to temporarily house families and transition-age youth affected by the virus; collaborating with the City of Chula Vista on the innovative use of RVs to house the homeless; providing emergency food for over 10\,000 families per month; and working closely with the Alpha Project on outreach in the South Region. Together with community partners\, SBCS has also provided distance learning support and mental health and violence prevention services to thousands more since the start of the pandemic. \nAs written in the Union Tribune: “When San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and county Supervisors Nathan Fletcher and Nora Vargas announced in March that the convention center would\, within a matter of days\, temporarily house unaccompanied migrant children\, the leaders turned to San Diego’s community of service providers to care for them. Without hesitation\, SBCS\, along with Casa Familiar\, the YMCA\, New Alternatives\, MAAC\, San Diego Youth Services\, the San Diego County Office of Education and the Logan Heights Community Development Corp. were all on board. \nKathie will talk about the sheer logistics of the creation of this emergency intake shelter in the San Diego Convention Center\, drawing on each of the participating organization’s areas of expertise and decades of experience in helping vulnerable children to thrive. \n

Proceeds fund educational outreach campaigns to educate children about the dangers of Ocean Plastic Pollution\, to save marine life and keep plastics out of the ocean.

SUMMARY:Dr. Tony Hunter\, American Cancer Society Professor\, Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory\, Renato Dulbecco Chair
DESCRIPTION:Tony Hunter\, PhD\, is a Salk scientist and American Cancer Society Professor. \nDr. Hunter made the seminal discovery\, more than four decades ago\, that the addition and subtraction of phosphate molecules to proteins on tyrosine\, one of the 20 amino acids\, allows cells to control when key proteins are on standby and when they are active. He went on to show that\, in cancers\, growth was switched to an always-on mode by the malfunctions of these phosphates. Since then\, his lab has led the field in understanding how chemical additions to proteins control the cell cycle and growth. Dr. Hunter uses cutting-edge molecular\, genetic and cell biology techniques to probe how these programs interact with each other\, what effect they have on cells and how cancers disrupt them to encourage uninhibited growth. Already\, cancer drugs—such as the leukemia therapy Gleevec™—have been designed based on Hunter’s discoveries. Gleevec turns off an enzyme that normally adds  phosphates to tyrosines in proteins\, thus preventing cancers from growing. As Hunter continues to discover other ways in which cells use chemical additions to proteins to control their growth\, he aims to find potential therapeutic targets for cancers. \nDr. Hunter will talk about his major discovery that led to the drug\, Gleevec and the research he is currently conducting through his NCI Outstanding Investigator Award\, which supports accomplished leaders in cancer research.
