More than 600 guests attended this year’s Party for the Parks, held at the GGP Carrousel and Koret Children’s Quarter. Games, carrousel rides, and entertainers began the carnival-themed evening, which continued with a sumptuous dinner by McCalls, a live auction of one-of-kind park experiences and dancing with DJ Spider. Mayor Lee was on hand to thank the generous civic-minded guests, and thank both NPC and SFPT for their service to parks. For the second year in a row, the party raised more than $300,000. We are especially grateful to Parks Commission President Mark Buell, RPD, party donors, sponsors, volunteers, and tireless Committee Co-Chairs Lana Adair, Paige Arata, Connie Goodyear Baron, Meg Bertero, Nancy Conner, Christine Gardner, and Ally Gwozdz.

Special thanks for our generous patrons and institutional sponsors:
