The Del Mar Foundation is a great asset to the Del Mar community, an organization I am delighted to have helped to support as a donor and a volunteer for more than six years. I first became involved because of my interest in cultural arts programs for Del Mar. The Foundation is a key sponsor and producer of a wide array of cultural arts events and other programs, ranging from the popular First Thursdays and Summer Twilight Concerts series, to children's events, special "bluegrass and beyond" performances, and much more. I soon learned that the Foundation accomplishes a lot in addition to its excellent programs: making grants to support worthy projects in our community; serving as fiscal sponsor and providing technical support to other community nonprofits and projects; managing a lagoon endowment fund for the long-term environmental well-being of the San Dieguito Lagoon; and successfully launching a Community Endowment to help ensure funding for key community needs in perpetuity. If you live in 92014, the Del Mar Foundation is for you, and I hope you will join me and many others in giving of your time, expertise and money to support the Del Mar Foundation.
