Toyota Marin and Dedication to Special Education Celebrate 20 Years of Community Support, Raising Over $1M

Toyota Marin marked a major milestone on Saturday, February 8th, as it celebrated 20 years of partnership with Dedication to Special Education (DSE) 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 notable appearances from the San Rafael Fire Department and members of the local school board, further 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 excitement surrounding the event was palpable, with attendees enjoying family-friendly festivities, great 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. DSE’s mission is to ensure every student has access to the tools and support they need to thrive, and the overwhelming community response to this event reinforces the importance of their work.

With another successful year in the books, Toyota Marin and Dedication to Special Education look forward to continuing this long-standing tradition of giving back. This event serves as a testament to the power of community, proving that when people come together, they can make a lasting difference in the lives of thousands of students.
