Organizers aim to raise $100,000 through the hike-a-thon to support park efforts such as trail maintenance and educational programs for youth
An upcoming hiking fundraiser will let San Diegans give back to Mission Trails Regional Park while logging some miles under their boots.
Organizers from the City of San Diego’s Parks and Recreation Open Space Division, Councilmember Raul Campillo and the Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation aim to raise $100,000 through the hike-a-thon to support park efforts such as trail maintenance and educational programs. Participants’ friends and family can pledge to donate a certain amount of money for each mile hiked or biked, or they can do a direct one-time donation to the cause.
In July, the Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation donated 55 acres of land in the East Elliott Community Planning Area, located north of State Route 52, to the city to be incorporated into the regional park. The foundation continues to work with private landowners to purchase additional parcels for the regional park, Morrissey said.
