Sponsorship  The TCC has also been very fortunate to secure Topanga Days sponsorships. Nonie Shore, the TCC VP in charge of Events & Fundraising adds, “We are grateful to everyone for helping to sponsor our fundraiser this year, as this event has become very expensive to host. This year, the Anthony & Jeanne Pritzker Family Foundation, The Wright Way Team with Compass Realty, Molson Coors, and Snyder Sutton Real Estate have led the way in being our Backbone Trail sponsors.�  Every sponsorship makes a difference, and it is not too late to become a sponsor. All sponsorship information can be found online at: Become A Sponsor —Topanga Days Country Fair. A handful of local businesses have generously stepped up to maintain the tradition of the parade. “Our community is grateful to Adrian Wright and Jordan Wright of the Wright Way Team at Compass, Endless Color, Exposition Studios, Suncoast Mortgage, The Canyon Chronicle, Topanga Living Café, and William Preston Bowling of Pritchett Rapf Realty, for financially supporting this beloved parade,� adds Shore.
