PURE MUIR GALA 2018 SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2018 | JOHN MUIR NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE | MARTINEZ John Muir Land Trust cordially invites you to participate as a sponsor of our 2018 Pure Muir Gala. Held at the John Muir National Historic Site in Martinez, this celebration is an opportunity to support an important community organization while leveraging your brand with local residents, distinguished guests and business leaders throughout the Greater Bay Area.

Join Master of Ceremonies Doug McConnell and together we will enjoy the pleasures of fine art, beautiful music, an exciting live auction, and gourmet dinner and wine while celebrating the places that make the East Bay special!

For twenty-five years John Muir Land Trust has worked to preserve open space and wild lands in the East Bay that protect clean drinking water, critical wildlife habitat, and enhance the quality of life in our community. We have permanently protected thousands of acres of natural area and established miles of trails for recreation and public enjoyment. JMLT is a leader in preserving land to benefit our entire community. Your support is essential to this protection, and we thank you.

Protecting the places that make East Bay Special John Muir Land Trust’s mission is as compelling today as it was when the organization was founded more than 25 years ago.

That is why John Muir Land Trust continues to protect and care for open space, ranches, farms, parkland and shoreline in the East Bay. We believe that the vitality of our land is essential to the health of our earth, air, water and our native plants and animals - and all of us.

JMLT protects and stewards land in perpetuity, ensuring that beautiful natural areas are available for the public to experience now and generations to come.

Please consider sponsorship of our annual gala. Our goal is to collaborate with our partners to develop promotional programs that raise mutual awareness and inspire local support.
