Santa Barbara County is blessed with a diversity of vital nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the health, well-being, growth, civic leadership and compassion of our community.

Charitable giving and philanthropy are part of our identity, which is why Noozhawk is proud to support the nonprofit community through sponsoring local community organizations and events. 

To showcase our support of the event, Another Day in Paradise, Noozhawk spoke with Ross Kamerling, from Ice in Paradise to learn more about their event.

A: We’ll be sharing the stories of those who have been with us these past 10 years and experiences from those who have just met us as we continue to celebrate Ice in Paradise’s 10 Year Anniversary.
