❋❋❋❋

The Sue Bruns Award for Philanthropy was created in honor of Sue Bruns and her family's generosity to Hospice East Bay. Over 64 years ago, Sue and her husband George moved from the East Coast to the Bay Area. Sue began her involvement with a number of charitable organizations and in 2004 Sue and her husband George founded Bruns House, an in-patient hospice facility in a former private home in Alamo. The house was named in memory of their dear son, Lt. G. H. Bruns III, who died tragically in an automobile accident in 1967.

The Sue Bruns Award for Philanthropy is awarded annually to the community group, individual, or foundation that embodies Sue's charitable spirit that lives on to this day.
