Meet at Odessa

Scott Reed, former president of the Music Academy of the West, commemorated the first year of his company Lane 4 Fundraising, a fundraising strategy firm he launched with the academy colleague Jon Bishop last fall.

A nod to the dynamic duo’s passion for competitive swimming, Lane 4 works with some top nonprofits in our community to strengthen their fundraising impact.

They are now working with stellar organizations including Rise & Shine Ghana, American Indian Health & Services, UCSB’s Athletic Department, PAL, SEEAG, and WEV to name a few.

The hip Odessa Lounge on State Street was packed with a Who’s Who of the community including Kelly Barsky, Marge Cafarelli, Ed and Sue Birch, Alex Katz, Elizabeth Fowler, Geoff Green, Belle Hahn, Gregg and Carol Wilson, Jennifer Zacharias, Mindy Budgor, and Warren and Mary Lynn Staley.
