Anne and Michael Towbes Pledge $100,000 to Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy
Anne and Michael Towbes have pledged $100,000 to the capital campaign of the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Foundation.
Michael Towbes is chairman of Montecito Bank & Trust and The Towbes Group.
The couple’s donation will go toward the cost of construction of the Elings Center for Engineering Education on the Dos Pueblos High School campus.
The capital campaign now stands at $1.86 million, with $1.4 million needed to reach the goal of $3 million for a state matching grant. Late last year, philanthropist Virgil Elings donated $1 million to the campaign.
— Sandy Seale represents the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Foundation.

Michael Towbes, you are so generous. Thanks for supporting such a variety of worthy efforts in our community. I’ve only lived here for 5 years but your giving spirit is most impressive.

Mr. and Mrs. Towbes add vision and class to every civic and philanthropic venture they
touch.
Our youth, and innovative education, are the future of CA’s economic competitiveness.
This generous investment to jump-start teen interest in advanced science and engineering will be a big step in that direction on the south coast.
What a great way to start the new year!

Of greedy rich people donating to the community with their OWN money! Sucks for the politicians who want to give away YOUR money to collect brownie points. Also sucks for those socialists who want to spread everyone else’s wealth around when “the evil greedy wealthy and corporations” that they espouse are constantly proving them wrong. Thank you Michael.
