Our Family
Rooted in San Diego, gathered around a long table.
Three generations. One long dinner table where most of the important decisions get made.
Tom & Delnora Janecek built a life in San Diego County through business, community, and an open front door. Their children, Hayley and Ryan, along with Hayley's husband Ross Caleca carry that tradition forward today.
The Fund is how we extend that table outward: to the family members, close friends, and causes that have shaped us.
