Trust Has Successful Year of Fund-Raising in 2011

The Trust had its most successful year of fund-raising in 2011; realizing almost $200,000 in donations from BMP homeowners/members. Of the two challenge grants, the $25K challenge was exceeded and a fair portion of the $50K challenge was realized. This is truly remarkable given the economic climate in which  many nonprofits now find themselves. The Trust wishes to thank its supporters and looks forward to another successful year in 2012. And to that end, in 2012, because of the programming the Trust does for the surrounding communities, we're going to embark on fund-raising outside the Preserve. Wish us luck - we're confident we'll be welcoming new members to the Trust family.
