Non-Profit Partners

We aim to identify partners who are committed to uplifting and serving communities in need. We take pride in the key partnerships we’ve cultivated, which empower us to make a meaningful difference year after year. Our current focus for our non-profits are the trails we use and the health and safety of our pet's.

Big Sur Land Trust

Big Sur Land Trust is a non-profit organization with a mission to inspire love of land across generations, conservation of our unique Monterey County landscapes, and access to outdoor experiences for all. We see a future where natural landscapes, working lands, urban open spaces and healthy communities are cared for by people who share a love of nature and a deep appreciation for the richness of their diverse cultures. Since 1978, our generous donors and partners have conserved over 45,000 acres throughout Monterey County. As an accredited land trust, our work promotes:
  • Healthy Lands: Conserving and caring for the magnificent natural landscapes, habitats and waterways of our region to ensure a sustainable future.
  • Healthy People: Providing opportunities for all who live in and visit Monterey County to experience the healthful benefits associated with access to parks and open spaces, fresh food, clean air and water, and a deep connection to nature.
  • Healthy Communities: Engaging in partnerships where conservation and civic participation increase community vitality, economic prosperity and social equity.

The Animal Run

The Animal Run’s vegan foot races support Bay Area animal welfare organizations, helping them give animals the lives we all want for ourselves. As the Bay Area’s first and only canicross race organization, we welcome all runners—whether you’re racing with a dog or without.

Join us for a 5K or 10K every fourth Sunday in April, and don’t miss our annual 5K Tofurkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. Every race features a warm vegan breakfast and an unbeatable atmosphere filled with positive energy and plenty of wagging tails.

Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re now a sponsor of Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship.

A 501(c)(3) organization that builds and maintains trails across the region. SCMTS hosts hundreds of volunteer events every year, including their annual National Trails Day celebration in Santa Cruz, and works to keep trails open and accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level or ability. They just recently opened 9 miles of brand-new trail at Cotoni-Coast Dairies, a National Monument on the Santa Cruz coast, which offer epic training routes. If you’d like to learn more about their projects or join them in the field for volunteer trail work, check out santacruztrails.org or follow them on Facebook and Instagram @santacruztrails.
