Kesem at UC Santa Barbara

06/04/2026

We are incredibly honored to share that Kesem at UCSB has been awarded the Service & Humanitarian Award by UCSB Student Engagement & Leadership! This award recognizes organizations that are dedicated to serving others, addressing community needs, and creating meaningful, lasting impact.
We are also thrilled to celebrate two of our amazing Co-Directors for their individual recognitions:
Sunny received the Michael D. Young “Model the Way” Leadership Award, recognizing a student leader who leads with integrity, sets a standard of excellence, and inspires others through their actions.
Figs received the Senior Individual Co-Curricular Award, recognizing outstanding contributions to campus life through sustained leadership, involvement, and service.
We are so proud of our chapter and grateful for everyone who helped make this possible💚💙

It’s hard to believe that Make the Magic was already over a month ago, and we’re still thinking about what an incredible evening it was💙
We are so grateful for our amazing community, everyone who attended, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible. Your generosity and support allowed us to raise over $40,000 so we can continue supporting children impacted by a parent’s cancer. Thank you for helping us make the magic✨
