More than $1 million raised over two decades

Toyota Marin marked a major milestone on Feb. 8, as it celebrated 20 years of partnership with Dedication to Special Education at its annual benefit raffle event. This year’s fundraiser was an overwhelming success, raising over $100,000, bringing the total funds raised over the past two decades to more than $1 million in support of special education programs across the Bay Area.

The event was well attended by community members, families and supporters of special education, with appearances from the San Rafael Fire Department and
members of the local school board, highlighting the deep-rooted commitment of the community to inclusive education. As a special way to commemorate this milestone year, Toyota Marin donated the exclusive Toyota Land Cruiser as the grand prize for the raffle. The winner wished to remain anonymous. The event included family-friendly festivities, food and drinks, face painting and interactive activities for children.

“Our commitment to Dedication to Special Education is one of the most meaningful partnerships we have,” said Nick Price, CEO of Price Family Dealerships. “For 20 years, we’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact DSE has on students, families and educators, and we’re honored to continue supporting such an important cause.”

The funds raised will directly support special education programs in Marin County, helping to provide grants, training, technological resources and classroom enhancements for students with special needs. Dedication to Special Education’s mission is to ensure every student has access to the tools and support they need to thrive.
