2025 Impact Report

The year 2025 may be coming to a close but here at the Friends, we are in the forever business. Every volunteer, every member, every donor is carrying the torch to pass to the next generation.

This is not a sprint, or even a marathon. There is no finish line. We look forward to implementing our next strategic plan which we will share with you at our Annual Meeting in January, and continuing this work with all of you.

As you will see in this year’s reporting, Friends programs are designed to meet strategic goals and make big impacts. Our stats are impressive and we are well-poised to continue to support our park during times of change – whether that be a catastrophic hurricane, a global pandemic, a massive government shutdown, or something else.

I hope as you page through our 2025 Impact Report you get a glimpse of the dedication of our staff, volunteers and partners. We have an incredibly motivated, well-trained, dedicated network of people who live, work and play in our park and like you, care deeply about St. John. The impact we make and the work we do is thanks to you!
