Foley receives award for her work with children
Costa Mesa City Councilwoman Katrina Foley was recognized Tuesday for her work to help the city’s children and families. Foley received the John Upton award from the Childs-Pace Foundation, a nonprofit group that runs after-school programs for children from low- to moderate-income families.
Childs-Pace board members said they chose Foley for the award because she has long been a volunteer for programs serving domestic violence victims and local schools, and as a council member she has proposed new bike trails, neighborhood clean-ups and a program to eliminate gangs.
Foley, an attorney who practices in Newport Beach, lives in Costa Mesa with her husband and two sons. She has been on the City Council since 2004.
