Dear Friends of the Foundation,

As we reflect on the life of Paul Banke — President of the Fair Foundation, devoted husband, father, and multigenerational Alameda County rancher — we are reminded of the quiet strength and generosity he brought to everything he did. Paul was a thoughtful leader, a loyal friend, and a committed supporter of agricultural education and the future of farming and ranching.

Paul shared a simple and heartfelt request: if anyone wishes to support the continuation of his hopes and vision, he wished you would do so through the Fair Foundation.

With the support of the Banke family, we remain committed to honoring that request and carrying on the work he believed in.

In honoring Paul’s wishes, we celebrate a life lived with meaning and dedication. Thank you for helping to keep his memory alive.
