Companies recognize that an investment in parklands is an investment in community quality of life – and that’s good for business. We partner with businesses that share our commitment to conserving land and open spaces where everyone can play and experience the renewal that nature brings.

	The Fresno Bee has a long history of partnering with organizations that significantly and positively impact quality of life. To that end, The Fresno Bee has championed the creation of the Parkway from its inception, recognizing the value of establishing an amenity that benefits all Valley residents and serves as an attraction for companies and individuals looking to relocate here.
	Friant Ranch is Fresno’s first master planned lifestyle community for Baby Boomer Active Adults, age 55+, featuring 2,270 homes, a 16 acre Recreation and Fitness Center, 13 miles of walking and biking trails, and an 18 acre Village Commercial Center. Friant Ranch is located next to the San Joaquin River Parkway, Lost Lake Park and Millerton Lake, long considered by many the recreational jewels of Fresno County.
	Guarantee Real Estate’s roots run deep in the Central Valley. Supporting the creation of a 23-mile Parkway from its inception to the present, Guarantee recognizes the economic value and quality of life contribution that the Parkway brings to the area. With a firm belief in philanthropy and a dedication to giving back to the communities they serve, the Guarantee Good Will Network was established in 2007 to support organizations that make our community a more desirable place to live and provide benefits that can be enjoyed by everyone.

	Pacific Gas and Electric Company is committed to being an environmental leader and to demonstrating this through their actions. For over twenty years, PG&E has played an integral role in supporting River Parkway Trust efforts that inspire future environmental stewards through education programs for thousands of children in Fresno and Madera counties.
	Sun-Maid Growers of California is proud that their raisins and dried fruits meet the healthy living guidelines for the daily eating of more fruits and vegetables. Their focus on providing nutritional foods goes hand-in-hand with the River Parkway Trust’s commitment to providing outdoor opportunities for children and people of all ages to follow a healthy lifestyle.
	Vulcan Materials Company believes that being a good corporate citizen requires hard work to nurture our employees, respect our neighbors and protect the environment for future generations. In 2001, Vulcan deeded the historic Riverview Ranch and surrounding 4 acres to the River Parkway Trust.  With local support, the Trust renovated the 1890s ranch house, landscaped the grounds, and opened the facility to the public in 2002 as the Coke Hallowell Center for River Studies (River Center). Vulcan currently is continuing reclamation work on its former mining lands that surround the River Center.
	Since 2002, Wells Fargo has supported the River Parkway Trust’s programs, with special emphasis on those for underserved youth. In keeping with their current focus on supporting the environmental work of nonprofits and providing the opportunity for Wells Fargo team members to improve their communities, Wells has granted money to the Trust to help develop a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project along the Parkway.

 We appreciate these community-minded businesses for their generous support.
