I can’t think of anyone who has a bigger heart than Adriana Shuman. When Adriana and Mark first moved to Santa Barbara they learned their new home had been a Design Showcase House for Calm. They immediately researched the organization and found out the mission: to prevent, assess, and treat victims of child abuse. They became donors but their involvement did not stop there.

When Adriana opened Summer For Kids it was very well received. Adriana worked very hard but felt like something was missing from her goal of having a successful safe children’s store.

She dug deep into her big heart and realized she wanted to give back to the community in an even bigger way.

Two years ago the Shuman’s decided to give all of their profits from their store to local non-profits.

This is such an innovative and selfless way to educate the public and to help the children in our community.

Adriana is certainly one of a kind. How lucky we are to have her and her family in Santa Barbara!!
