For the Davis family, an investment in MARE helps to connect others with the natural world. “Supporting MARE goes beyond my personal impact,” says Sorrel. “Our support through the family foundation can also help inspire others to do the same.”

While MARE’s origins reach into the Channel Islands, the organization is equally rooted in Marin County, home of the Tustin and Rosen families. Family associations continue to nurture the growing nonprofit, and two Tustin siblings, Jay and Lisa share experiences they hope will inspire others.
