Board members of the newly formed Nathan Benderson Park Foundation are busy raising funds for the rowing facility.
Board members include: Randy Benderson, president of Benerson Development; Todd Mathes, of Benderson Development; Michael Bennett, Manatee County supervisor of elections,; Teri Hansen, of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation; Michael Klauber, owner of Michael's on East, Randy Mallitz, of University Park; and Anne Essner, of Sarasota.
