"During his lifetime, Conrad Prebys experienced so much joy when giving to causes he was passionate about," Conrad Prebys Foundation board chair Tony Cortes, a longtime friend of Prebys, told the Times of San Diego. "The foundation board and staff hope these gifts will inspire others in the community to experience that same joy by giving to the causes and organizations that matter most to them."
