United in Purpose - Collaborating to Create a Lasting Legacy at San Damiano

Written by

As Friends of San Damiano (FoSD) looks to the future, we are excited to unite our community around a shared vision: transforming San Damiano into a vibrant space that enriches lives for generations to come. Together, we are building a lasting legacy, one rooted in shared efforts, collaboration, and a deep love for this place. Our collective actions will leave a lasting impact, shaping the future of this space to reflect our community’s values, history, culture, and commitment to the environment.

What we do today will create ripple effects for generations to come, impacting future visitors in ways we can’t yet fully imagine. Children who come to San Damiano will walk the lakeside paths we have made accessible, and those who gather here in years to come will feel the sense of belonging that we have fostered. This legacy will be a lasting gift to the community, a testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a common cause.

Caring for San Damiano is a shared journey. Each partner, volunteer, and supporter plays a vital role in ensuring this Lake Monona destination remains welcoming and accessible. Whether through stewardship, participation in events, or simply sharing the vision, every contribution adds to a legacy that will stand the test of time.
