WHAT FRIENDS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH PARI ON CHARITABLE PROJECTS SAY:

I will always be grateful to Pari Livermore for her tremendous efforts and her vision. She has truly given a valuable gift to many students at Minnie Cannon, as well as the community of Middletown.

Rei Kor Deaco, Music Teacher

Pari has been a very kind, honest and generous person that I have every had the pleasure of working with.

Lisa Guerrero, Teacher

I consider myself blessed for having had the opportunity to be involved in Pari Livermore’s vision for the children of Middletown and I am a better person for knowing and assisting her in these endeavors.
Her work has not only enabled those who have won scholarships to dream or plan for college or technical school but it will actually provide an opportunity for them to grow to their full potential.

Donna Barnette, Pastor

I was greatly impressed by the Minnie Cannon School. Meeting the dedicated staff and enthusiastic students made me hopeful for their future. Thanks to you and your team they have musical instruments, school supplies, a new playground, landscaping and a scholarship program that is ongoing. I love how you have such a vision for how best to involve the children in their own success.

Diana Luks, Educator

I have had many conversations with Pari about how she just wants these students to start thinking about college now. I talk to them about college but she makes it a reality for them.

Michelle Mackey, 6th Grade Teacher, Minnie Cannon Elementary

This Scholarship Program has brought opportunities to our students that may have helped guide them to a path of higher education with the recent valley fires, I know for sure that two of the past winners lost their homes and all of their belongings. These kids still have their account. We appreciate the love and thought that is brought to our students.

Lois Pavlov, President

During my tenure, Pari Livermore and the Red and White Ball committee gave four Red and White Balls for our organization between 1991-1996. Pari’s committee helped keep us afloat during a lean period of our history. They even helped to paint some rooms at our center and brought toys for the children and decorated during the holiday season.

R. Michael Delagnes, Treasurer, San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Society

Pari held a stellar event two years running, staying well within the American Cancer Society parameters our team learned many valuable techniques from building your event committees to pricing to minimize expenses. We were able to run our own events just as successfully when she moved to help other organizations. We left on the best of terms, with Pari receiving our Award for Outstanding Service. This honor is not just a yearly award. A volunteer must serve in an exceptional capacity, over time for it to be earned. We also convinced her to take a seat on our board. This was a benefit to our volunteer management.
Pari was very approachable and humble, never expecting anything but maybe a “thank you” and “well done”. I have worked with her and have never met anyone in the other nonprofits she supported who felt differently.

Jim Claib, Executive Director, American Cancer Society

Because of your support the Family Service Agency / San Francisco will be able to expand our important services for seniors in 1994.
