Finnegan said, "As the new executive director of the Lassen Park Foundation, I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with its Board of Directors in seeking potential donors in support of Lassen Volcanic National Park. This philanthropic support helps fund numerous park programs, including camping for at-risk kids, the restoration of park resources, hiking and equestrian trail improvements, and protection of wildlife. How neat is that!?"
