Thank you Team Chumash

Thank you to Mike Traphagen and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians for supporting Cottage Children’s Medical Center!

Mike, Public Relations Media Manager for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, has been actively involved in their volunteer program, Team Chumash, contributing more than 20 hours of volunteer service to local nonprofits.

In recognition of his dedicated service as an All-Star Volunteer, the Chumash Foundation granted $500 to the organization of his choice– he selected Cottage Children’s Medical Center because the “doctors and staff do an amazing job tending to the needs of children who need life-saving treatments.”
