We have an extraordinary opportunity before us—one that could significantly enhance the future of the Marin Retriever Club and our ability to train and work our dogs in ideal conditions This would benefit the entire retriever community well into the future.
The duck club adjacent to the California Retriever Training Association (CRTA) property is now available for purchase. This is a rare chance to expand our accessible training grounds and protect vital retriever habitat and working space for years to come.
A generous supporter has pledged to purchase the property for us. They would like to see as many people as possible join them in contributing to help secure this property for the Marin Retriever Club.
But we need your help to make it happen.
We must show the club’s commitment by showing a large number of members, family and friends support the new grounds. A monetary donation by everyone will help to finalize the purchase. If each family member contributes separately, it will have a greater impact on achieving our goal. Every contribution, no matter the size, will bring us closer to this goal.
The property was initially listed at $1,600,000. The donor wants assurance that more than just a few people will benefit from this gift. We want to show them there is a huge community that would support this endeavor!
We are a 501C3 so all contributions are tax deductible!
Now is the time! With your help, we can take this bold step - being one of the few clubs that owns its training grounds. We invite you to join us as a founding donor by contributing before August 15, 2025.
Your gift will help lay the foundation for a lasting legacy. Gifts at all levels are deeply appreciated and will be initially recognized at our September Hunt Test.
