PYBUS FOUNDATION
When people gather at Pybus Market, great things happen!
FOUNDATION MISSION
life in the greater Wenatchee valley, now and for generations to come.
FOUNDATION OVERVIEW
The Pybus Market Charitable Foundation was founded in 2012 by Mike and JoAnn Walker to establish a public market for the greater community benefit. The Foundation’s strategy is to leverage the power, popularity and physical infrastructure of Pybus Public Market to create and maintain charitable activities at the Market benefiting a broad cross-section of the community. By intention, the Foundation engages in a broad set of charitable activities at Pybus Market, rather than a narrow set.
