Sports agent Leigh Steinberg will be honored today by the Board of

Supervisors for his philanthropic activities.

Steinberg, who lives in the unincorporated community of Newport Coast,

will be commended for his “dedicated service over and above the call of

duty as a sports agent,” according to the resolution set to be passed.

Steinberg, 51, is also set to be honored by the Orange County Human

Relations Commission on Thursday.

Locally, Steinberg and his wife, Lucy, have a long-standing history of

community service. Among the causes they champion are the Leigh and Lucy

Steinberg Spirit Run and the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation of Orange

County.

He also has donated time and money to the Anti-Defamation League and

other socially conscious groups. Steinberg also sponsors four youths each

summer for training at the Leigh Steinberg Leadership Institute.
