develop young Catholics into moral leaders.

The Foundation’s support of Salk Institute, which goes back to 2003, will help fund the
nonprofit’s mobile science laboratory program, which provides science experiences to children
in grade school and high school.
“As a former schoolteacher and a mom, I have seen firsthand the positive impact that a wellformed
education can have on our youth,” said Kathleen Hannon Aikenhead, President of the
William H. Hannon Foundation. “My late uncle made it his mission to enhance the welfare and
education of students throughout Southern California, where he called home and had his
business. These organizations are educating the next generation of leaders and we are proud to
help them in their efforts.”
