Thank you to all of the generous contributors who have helped the Civic Pride Foundation fund its Community Grants Program and who contributed more than $90,000 to the Splash Playground at Larkey Pool (21017) and, in 2014, who provided more than $370,000 for the new All Abilities Playground.
We invite you to consider a donation for the Foundation's Community Grants Program, which supports Walnut Creek non-profits that enhance the recreational, cultural, and educational quality of life of the community.
