KNOX WILLIAMS
AUGUST 9, 1928 – DECEMBER 6, 2024
In Honour of Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF) Founding Chair
As the Founding Chair of the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF), Knox played a key role in selecting one of the first grants, which supported a local elementary school where parents were funding an after-school program to teach 5th graders financial literacy.
With CCF members rallying behind the initiative, it gained momentum and eventually expanded to all nine elementary schools in the area, thanks to the support of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.
"That’s community philanthropy at its finest," Knox shared.
