Best Recognized
Dana Dornsife, Citizen of the Year
In 2003, Dana’s focus turned to cancer as
she watched a family member succumb to
pancreatic cancer at age 42. In 2006, she
founded Lazarex Cancer Foundation and
currently serves as its President. Lazarex is
a non-profit that exists to help fill the gap

seeking treatment in FDA clinical trials.
Dana serves on several boards; Epeius
Biotechnologies, developing genetic medicines for the treatment of cancer; the USC
Brain and Creativity Institute and the USC
Huntington Institute for Advanced Studies.
Dana is also a co-owner of the highly
popular restaurant Martini Sky in the Danville Livery.
Bill White, Allstate Insurance, William White Agency, Business Person of the Year
For over 6 years Bill has portrayed the
balance of successful business practice
(won 2011 & 2010 Inner Circle of Champions in Leadership Award for Allstate, and
was the 2012 National Allstate Leadership
Speaker) in Danville. He makes a substantial civic contribution through his involvement in the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce, Exchange Club, Danville D’Elegance,
Lazarex Cancer Foundation, Alamo Chamber of Commerce, and was a Board Director for Adventist Health Systems. He has a
history of bringing businesses and people
together whom he feels can benefit each
other. For example Bill brought together
the SRV Fire Protection District which has
an excellent response time with an Allstate
Home Insurance carrier to reduce rates for
residents within SRV Fire Protection District. Bill also secured a donation from Allstate to the Pulse Point First Response.
