Fresno, CA – Saint Agnes Health has been recognized by Fresno State as a recipient of the Pinnacle Society’s prestigious Paramount Level honor for contributing more than $1 million in philanthropic support to the university, helping to advance education, student success and academic excellence.

The Pinnacle Society celebrates individuals and organizations whose thoughtful generosity and long-term commitment have made a lasting impact on the university. Established to recognize transformational giving, the society honors donors who have helped enhance academics, support students, improve facilities and strengthen programs across the Fresno State campus.

This year marks a special chapter in the Pinnacle Society's history. Following a pause during the COVID-19 pandemic, the recognition program was recently revived under the leadership of Fresno State President, Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, reaffirming the university's commitment to celebrating the donors and partners who help shape Fresno State's future.

“The philanthropic commitment that Saint Agnes has made to Fresno State has created a lasting impact,” says Kara Zografos, DrPH, MPH, Dean, California State University, Fresno, College of Health and Human Services. “That generosity has opened doors for students while strengthening the university and the communities they will serve.
