The Bay Reaches Next Fundraising Milestone

Business

The Bay Park Conservancy (BPC), the non-profit organization responsible for overseeing the transformation of 53-acres of city-owned land along Sarasota’s bayfront into a world-class public park, has reached another important milestone for the project. Through a generous $5 million match challenge from The Patterson Foundation, The BPC has now raised $15 million towards its $20 million initial funding goal from private sources. “From the very beginning, we’ve had the goal of creating a park that is open and accessible, free and welcoming to the full and rich diversity of our entire community,” said AG Lafley, Founding CEO, The Bay Park Conservancy. “We are so grateful to The Patterson Foundation, as well as our many private donors and public partners, who through their generosity and continued support, are helping to make this vision for The Bay a reality.”
