Friends of Balboa Park

Thank you to our friends at Ranch & Coast Magazine for including the Balboa Park Carousel in their inaugural Giving Guide! We are grateful to those who support us so we can continue preserving and enhancing #BalboaPark. From donations to social media engagements to sharing our projects, every action counts. We know this year has been challenging, and we are thankful to so many who love the park as much as we do! https://bit.ly/2IA9Itq #SanDiego #philanthropy

Tune in live and check out the progress! https://bit.ly/3qlX1Dp #balboapark #SouthPalisades
