New Pathway of Pride plaques to be unveiled

Six new plaques will be unveiled Thursday along Rancho Bernardo’s Pathway of Pride in Webb Park.

The dedication ceremony will start at 4 p.m., with City Councilman Mark Kersey serving as master of ceremonies.

The new plaques will bring the pathway’s total up to 278, each representing a donation of at least $1,000 to the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation. The pathway was established in 1993 as a fundraiser for the foundation’s annual community grants program and the Rancho Bernardo Community Endowment. The endowment now exceeds $1.4 million, according to officials.

Dave Brooks, the Pathway of Pride chairman, said this year’s plaque honorees and donors, in parenthesis, are:

• Rancho Bernardo 2015 Honorary Mayor Tina Cota (Rancho Bernardo Business Association);

• 2016 Rancho Bernardo Hall of Fame Inductees Dave Brooks, Scott Lawn and Jay Riordan (themselves);

• Gloria Sanders Bond (Allen Bond);

• The Sturken Family (Ann and Al Sturken);

• The Miller Family (Chris and Wendy Miller) and

• Rancho Bernardo Courtyard by Marriott (RB Community Foundation).
