Leave a Legacy to Preserve San Clemente Pier

Through PierPride, people who love the Pier now have a way to leave a permanent and meaningful legacy, making certain the Pier continues to be the crown jewel of San Clemente. There are three ways to make a gift that ensures the future of the Pier:

  2. Name PierPride a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, bank account or mutual fund

You will be permanently recognized for your gift and honored at PierPride events in appreciation of your generosity.

Your gift means that future generations will be able to enjoy the unique experience of San Clemente Pier, whether it’s fishing, strolling, watching a sunset, learning to be a life guard or celebrating a summer holiday. This is a legacy of a lifetime.

Growing up, we didn’t miss a single Independence Day fireworks celebration. We played pirates, with the Pier as our gang plank. I was grateful my brother never threw me off the end. I’ll always love the Pier.

We cherish the sunsets. Each one is more vivid that the last. I’m the third generation in my family to enjoy San Clemente Pier and I intend for the next three generations to do the same.

My husband proposed to me with the Pier as a backdrop. It’s one of the most beautiful places that I know.
