Topanga Days is the largest annual fundraiser for the TCC, a volunteer managed non-profit community center that is open to the public. “We know that the Topanga community is looking forward to a return to a three day event,” says TCC President Kelly Rockwell.
Topanga Days sponsorships. Nonie Shore, the TCC VP in charge of Events & Fundraising adds, “We are grateful to everyone for helping to sponsor our fundraiser this year, as this event has become very expensive to host. This year, the Anthony & Jeanne Pritzker Family Foundation, The Wright Way Team with Compass Realty, Molson Coors, and Snyder Sutton Real Estate have led the way in being our Backbone Trail sponsors.” Every sponsorship makes a difference, and it is not too late to become a sponsor. All sponsorship information can be found on the website.
One last highlight of the weekend is the Topanga Days Memorial Day Parade on Monday morning, May 29th from 8:30 am-10:30. This year’s Grand Marshals are the Topanga Trash Warriors, led by co-founders Joseph Rosendo and Roger Pugliese. The impressive parade of floats, cars, kids, firetrucks and more begins at Pine Tree Circle and ends after the entrance to the Topanga Community Center, where Monday’s festivities will begin with Catherine McClenahan singing our National Anthem and a flag raising ceremony honoring members of the military. All members of the armed forces, past and present, with military I.D. receive free entrance to Topanga Days.
A handful of local businesses have already generously stepped up to maintain the tradition of the parade. “Our community is grateful to Adrian Wright and Jordan Wright of the Wright Way Team at Compass, Endless Color, Exposition Studios, Suncoast Mortgage, Topanga Living Café, and William Preston Bowling, a Pritchett Rapf Realtor, for financially supporting this beloved parade,” adds Shore. Visit the website for information regarding the parade or to register a float. Have a safe and wonderful Topanga Days! For all the latest updates, check topangadays.com
