Dave Hasson, a 12-year member of the North Valley Family YMCA board of directors, has been named volunteer of the year by the Greater San Fernando Valley Chapter of the American Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). He and four other individual award winners, plus three organizations, will be honored Thursday, Nov. 5, at the AFP annual awards luncheon at the Hilton Woodland Hills.
Hasson received the award for his longstanding commitment to the YMCA and for his recent work as project manager for North Valley’s expansion. A retired civil engineer, Hasson put in 40-hour weeks overseeing placement of two modular units at the YMCA branch in Northridge for additional YMCA classes and upgrades to school buildings at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Granada Hills for a 96-child, YMCA preschool.
“He’s been like an employee here,” said Miki Shelton, North Valley’s Director of Development. “We couldn’t have handled this without his help.”
Hasson has also volunteered as a coach for West Hills Baseball, West Valley Soccer League, and West Valley Eagle Basketball. He has served as president of the Men’s B’nai B’rith in Woodland Hills for several years and sits on the boards of many homeowners associations in Porter Ranch.
National Philanthropy Day is officially set as Nov. 15. It was created 24 years ago by the AFP to recognize and recognize and honor individuals and organizations who make significant philanthropic contributions.
