When Highland Park entrepreneur Alden Pinnell isn’t founding or co-founding companies like SkinCeuticals, Picnic Surf Shapes, and The Power Station, he enjoys spending time with family on the Katy Trail.
“It is one of the most important features for health, community, and well-being in our city,” he said, explaining why he supports efforts to fund landscaping, lighting, security, and activities on the Trail.
How did you get involved with Friends of the Katy Trail?
My initial involvement came through the art initiatives on the Trail. My wife, Janelle, joined the art committee a few years ago and has been a part of supporting Art on the Trail. Several of the artists who have worked at our art space (powerstationdallas.com) have also displayed artwork on the Katy Trail.
What would you say to someone else considering a donation to the nonprofit this year?
Friends of the Katy Trail is a very well-run organization that is efficient and effective, and the funds are smartly deployed. Just look at the Trail. It gets better every year!
