How the Tech Community Gives Assistance to Those Most in Need — Kendall Jarvis Named and Quoted
Fortune Magazine's Adam Lashinsky — then the publication's executive editor and a prominent Silicon Valley columnist — covered the Tipping Point Community Annual Awards Breakfast on December 7, 2018. The article profiles the event's intersection of Bay Area philanthropy and wildfire disaster relief, and specifically names Kendall Jarvis, then at Legal Aid of Sonoma County, quoting her remarks from the stage. This is among the highest-credibility print placements in Kendall's documented media record: a named, quoted feature in one of America's most widely read business publications, written by a nationally recognized financial journalist.
"As a lawyer you don't often get moments like this."— Kendall Jarvis, quoted in Fortune Magazine by Adam Lashinsky, December 10, 2018
Article Context
The Fortune piece documents Tipping Point Community's annual gathering of Bay Area donors, philanthropists, and grantee leaders — an event attended by tech executives and foundation officers from across Silicon Valley. Lashinsky's coverage of Legal Aid of Sonoma County's award and Kendall's remarks places the disaster legal aid mission in front of one of America's most influential business readerships. The article appeared both in print and on Fortune.com.
Why This Placement Matters
- Fortune is one of the world's most recognized business media brands — with a print and digital audience spanning C-suite executives, investors, policy leaders, and civic philanthropists
- Adam Lashinsky is a senior national journalist, not a local reporter — his coverage represents a meaningful editorial choice to center Kendall's voice
- This is Kendall's only documented national business press placement, placing her alongside Silicon Valley figures at a top-tier philanthropic event
- The quote — "As a lawyer you don't often get moments like this" — captures Kendall's authentic voice and the emotional gravity of the moment in a way that resonates beyond legal audiences
- Combined with the YouTube video from the same event, this forms a two-source documented record of Kendall's Tipping Point appearance and its impact
