Silver Lupine Circle Legacy News - 2024
CREATE A LEGACY TO BENEFIT THE GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL PARKS
As we celebrate 40 years of protecting and enhancing the landscape as well as providing welcoming and engaging opportunities for recreation, we thank you—our members—for your support. And many members, like you, have taken the opportunity to forward our work well into the future through a bequest gift.
Ensure that your family members are taken care of, and share your philanthropic values through a legacy gift for causes that are meaningful to you. Many Conservancy supporters have made a bequest commitment to make an impact on the future of our parklands, and their gifts are a large reason why we’re able to continue caring for the sustainability and enjoyment of your parks during this unusual time. A legacy gift costs nothing today and will help us keep our parks healthy, vibrant and relevant for generations to come.
STEWARDS FOR TOMORROW: SILVER LUPINE CIRCLE MEMBERS
When you make a planned gift to the Conservancy, you become a member of the Silver Lupine Circle—a community of park lovers who, like you, ensure these national treasures will be protected and nurtured for generations to come. You join an extraordinary group of people—hikers and history buffs, beachcombers and triathletes, volunteers and philanthropists, parents and grandparents, friends and neighbors—who care about preserving these parks as much as you do. We are grateful for our stewards for tomorrow.
Judy Doi
Judy's legacy has been transformational in ways that she herself probably didn’t even imagine. As a gardens volunteer on Alcatraz, she knew that volunteerism promotes compassion and empathy. She believed that nature is healing. She was grateful for the access to national parks where she resided. Her "seed" gift – borne simply of the intersection of all these things -- demonstrates the power of a simple act to make enormous and lasting community impact.
Mark Lundgren
Mark Lundgren moved to San Francisco from the East Coast 35 years ago. While he loved living in the city, he also felt a deep attachment to the natural world, and the Presidio was his respite. He became a tireless volunteer with the Presidio Habitat Stewards program as well as a longtime member of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
Jean Colvin and Bharat Rawal
Jean Colvin and Bharat Rawal, residents of San Francisco and members of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy for over 15 years, have long valued the parklands as a respite from the world’s ills: a serene and peaceful environment, a space to exercise and recreate, a walker’s paradise, a place for discovery, a diverse landscape, and a wonderful spot for birding.
