        Organizational Impact: Pam’s passion and commitment to the vision of Soroptimists was the catalyst for one
        of the best presidential years so far with SIGSCV. She was awarded top honors at an annual convention includ-
        ing the Prestigious Governor’s Award. Following that, Pam chaired The Wine Affair, which was the largest
        fundraiser to date netting over $52,000. She continues to support all committees with her volunteerism. Her en-
        thusiasm has helped to bring our membership to over 75 members. Pam contributed monthly towards the Laurel
        Society program which gives back monetarily to its annual program awardees. For many years Pam owned
        a moving van that was used by her clients. After that, it was used by nonprofits throughout the Santa Clarita
        Valley, such as American Cancer Society, Relay for Life, Betty Ferguson Foundation, Boys and Girls Club of
        Santa Clarita Valley, Carousel Ranch, Helmer’s Elementary School Parents Association, Old Orchard PTSA,
        The Special Olympics, and the Senior Center.  All have benefitted from the generous loan of the truck, many
        times for weeks at a time. Pam feels strongly about giving back to the community and can be seen at many local
        community events. In 2017, Michael and Teri Fox founded the Sebastian Velona Foundation to find a cure for
        Batten Disease CLN8. Immediately after establishing the foundation, Pam became actively involved as a board
        member and Event Planning Committee member. She has been instrumental in conceptualizing, planning, orga-
        nizing, staffing, marketing and actively participating in various fundraising events, including the inaugural TPC
        Wine Gala and the subsequent Healing Hugs Festival. She brings many years of charitable fundraising experi-
        ence to the foundation, and she is instrumental in advising the foundation in a variety of matters including, but
        not limited to, planning, organizing, fundraising, marketing, etc. Pam also attends all scientific advisory board
        meetings with the various consulting scientists and medical professionals who are working to develop a cure for
        Batten Disease CLN8. The foundation highly values Pam’s many contributions and her steadfast determination
        to helping the foundation find a cure.
        Biography: Pam and her husband Steve were married in 1972 and first moved to Santa Clarita Valley in 1974.
        They have one son, Christopher, born in 1976, and married to Elise. They have four grandkids. Pam started
        volunteering in the early 1980’s when Chris attended Chaminade College Preparatory where she was on the
        fundraising committee for five years, as well as PTA president. Pam Ingram is one of the top realtors working at
        RE/MAX of Santa Clarita and is a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
        Pam embarked on a career in real estate in 1994 and, in 1995, she returned to the Santa Clarita Valley. Pam can
        be seen at most charitable events in the community and tries to participate whenever possible in local charities
        and civic associations and organizations such as Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Light the Night, Leukemia & Lym-
        phoma Society, American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Boys and Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley, Carousel
        Ranch, Helmer’s Elementary School Parents Association, Old Orchard PTSA, the Special Olympics, and the
        Senior Center. Her positive attitude and energy has fueled her passion to lead, create teamwork and inspire
        others to create change and deliver results. Her commitment to this community and those in need has inspired
        her to continue her quest with a helping hand where needed. This was the inspiration that resulted in Pam being
        awarded the Carmen Sarro Award by Zonta International of Santa Clarita Valley in 2015. Pam was also awarded
        the Philanthropic Award by REMAX of Santa Clarita.
