Seating is limited, and this special dinner is always a highlight of the year. Don’t miss your chance to experience it. Reserve your spot today to make timeless memories and a difference in the community.

The Marianne Talley Foundation

Celebrating Marianne’s life with community collaboration.

The Marianne Talley Foundation was established after my sister, Marianne, died suddenly of a heart arrythmia on May 18, 1993.  Marianne was an avid athlete who won several league titles in swimming, was a member of the USC swim team and completed the famed Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii the year before she passed away.  As my family considered the best way to honor her legacy, we made the decision to establish the non-profit Marianne Talley Foundation to fund scholarships for Arroyo Grande High School students.
