Best Nonprofit That Doesn’t Fit Any Of Our Readers’ Poll Categories
Friends of Laguna Seca
The Grateful Dead have played at Laguna Seca. The Pope held mass at Laguna Seca. Ringling Brothers? We don’t think so. But the point is that Friends of Laguna Seca – the nonprofit that operates Laguna Seca Recreational Area for the County of Monterey – understands that there is more to the facility than the famed WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. So while they have already made noticeable improvements that brought the track out of its 1960s-era doldrums, they are also working to improve camping, hiking and biking, as well as to bring bands and other community experiences to a county park that is also one of the most recognized places in the world. Friends of Laguna Seca are making the facility worthy of that status.
