Cooley pro bono partner Maureen Alger and litigation partner Jessica Valenzuela Santamaria have also been recognized by the YWCA Tribute to Women awards.

The YWCA Silicon Valley's mission is to empower women, children and families, and eliminate racism, hatred and prejudice. The awards program is one of the primary fundraisers for the YWCA Silicon Valley, which provides critical services to more than 18,000 residents of Santa Clara County each year, including providing sexual assault, domestic violence and human trafficking awareness. In addition, YWCA provides counseling, child care and an after school program for girls known as TechGYRLS.
