“Erin’s living legacy is woven into the very fabric of Santa Barbara, where she touched its cultural soul, history, and traditions. She didn’t just honor the past, she made it pulse with life, ensuring that SB’s historical identity is not only remembered but experienced.”

The mission is to ensure that videos of her lectures, dances, and music are forever available on her LEGACY website and in schools, museums, and media outlets. Endowment dividends will also fund historical preser-vation and storytelling, music and dance scholarships, and performances, classes, and exhibits that reflect Santa Barbara’s rich cultural history.
