Hello, there.

As you know, the project to name the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge tunnel through Yerba Buena Island, S.F., the EMPEROR NORTON TUNNEL is being led by The Emperor Norton Trust. 

The Emperor Norton Trust is the leading public resource on Emperor Norton.

We are seeking an "Emperor Norton Tunnel" naming in 2026 — the 90th anniversary of the Bay Bridge.  

The stronger the Trust is, financially, the more successfully we will be able to advance this project to — finally! —  get the Emperor's name on his bridge. 

Yesterday, we announced our annual appeal — with a goal of $2000.  

You can read our appeal here. 

Perhaps it's been some time since you've contributed financially to support the work of The Emperor Norton Trust.

Perhaps you've been following the Trust for years but never taken the opportunity to send us a "President" or two.

Let this be the day you pin your Nortonian colors to the mast!

Cheers,

JOHN LUMEA
