Denise Hrudka
Director of Fashion Show
I joined Sandpipers in 2020 after learning about the organization from a co-worker, and I knew immediately it was the perfect way to combine my passion for giving back with my love for the South Bay community. After my provisional year I stepped right into leadership roles, co-chairing Sugarplum for two years, then leading the Auction and Fashion Show committees. This year, I'm honored to serve on the Board as Director of Fashion Show, one of our largest fundraisers.
Sandpipers has given me the gift of making a difference in our South Bay community and the bonus of lifelong friendships with some of the most inspiring women I've ever met. Whether I'm mentoring, raising funds, or rolling up my sleeves to serve, I bring the same energy I've carried through my 22 year career in the aerospace and defense industry. Originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, I now live in Redondo Beach with my fiance and two stepchildren. I'm looking forward to another amazing year ahead and raising record funds to support our cause!
