Ten Balboa Park Museum Directors, their Board chairs and supporters gathered at the Mary S. Macy Sculpture Court & Garden in Balboa Park to receive grants from Patrons of the Prado, a non-profit that raises funds at its MASTERPIECE event, “Under the Desert Sun.” The event netted $404,000 that was divided among ten beneficiaries. Event chairs Kimberly Alessio and Caroline Wohl along with their all-volunteer committee worked for nearly a year raising funds to support Patrons’ beneficiaries!
