Testimonial
The Campaign for Tolay Lake Regional Park was a classic example of how multiple public agencies, community-based organizations, and private citizens can work together. The net result was the acquisition by the County of Sonoma of the 1,769-acre Cardoza Ranch, for what will become the county’s largest regional park. The Glen Price Group (GPG) played a significant role in this effort as our diverse team came together to engage in multiple levels of fundraising required in order to realize our goals over a very compressed time frame… Utilizing their extensive contacts with Bay Area political leaders, GPG helped support key advocacy efforts that were instrumental in securing millions of dollars in public support for the campaign.
