Woodside resident Tad Taube has been named the 2017 San Mateo County History Maker by the county historical association.
Mr. Taube is the founder and chair of Taube Philanthropies, which supports charitable programs and initiatives worldwide.
An event honoring Mr. Taube as a county history maker is set for Sept. 13 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Burlingame, beginning with a cocktail reception, then dinner, a live auction and a film.
Write to development@historysmc.org or call 650-299-0104 to make reservations.
In March, Mr. Taube received the Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award for Lifetime Achievement by the nonprofit San Francisco-based Jewish Family and Children’s Services in recognition of philanthropic activities over 40 years.
Mr. Taube is participating in the history-maker dinner and supporting the historical association “because of its work in preserving the Peninsula’s past, and providing hands-on learning experiences for nearly 20,000 school children every year,” the association said in announcing the honor.
Others local to the Almanac who share in this distinction include the Lane family, medical device inventor and Portola Valley resident Dr. Thomas Fogarty, venture capitalist Reid W. Dennis of Woodside, and Baseball Hall of Fame centerfielder Willie Mays and Football Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle, both residents of Atherton.
