SFHC is raising money for a Commemorative Bench & Plaque

at UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens

Honoring our dear friend John Hayden.

John (January 9, 1948 - October 9, 2024) was a  member of the San Francisco Hiking Club for almost 40 years.  Everyone who met John loved John.  He died on October 9, 2024 at the age of 76. 

John generously supported the club, not only as a Lifetime member, but by providing the most perfect setting and garden for our annual Pool Party year after year.  He also started the tradition of providing way too much chocolate after lunch during every club hike.

In John's honor, a beautiful bench with commemorative plaque will be placed in a peaceful setting inside the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden (date and location of the dedication to be announced).

We hope you will contribute to the cost of the plaque and bench using the form below.  No amount is too small. 

Thank you for helping to honor John!
