HONOREE 2020/2021 Philanthropist of the Year BPAE AL MT REIRZ Beatriz Palmer moved to North County from Mexico when she was just a toddler, and the help she and her family received from neighbors and social service organizations while growing up left a lasting impression on the importance of serving others. Most of Palmer’s career has been dedicated to serving the public. The Oceanside High School graduate worked for the nonprofit MAAC Project Head Start before leaving for a biotech firm. Palmer’s service goes beyond her job at MiraCosta College. She regularly sponsors fundraisers for coworkers and students, she is often the first to participate in any donation drive on campus, and she also takes part in the charitable payroll deduction program. Bea and her husband John have been tireless supporters of the MiraCosta College Foundation. Providing more than $26,000 in financial assistance to MiraCosta College students, and academic programs, Bea and John have made a tremendous impact on student success through their philanthropic efforts.
