The Hudson River Watershed Alliance will hold our annual celebration of the Watershed WaveMaker awardees and the outstanding efforts of all watershed volunteers on Wednesday, June 11.
The event will start at 6 pm, with live music, hot and cold appetizers, and opportunities to connect with attendees on the deck overlooking the waterfalls of the Lattintown Creek. Each ticket includes one complementary drink, with a cash bar to follow. The awards ceremony will run from 6:45-7:45 pm, and include a presentation of the Watershed WaveMaker awards and panel discussion with this year’s awardees. At 7:45 pm, we’ll have another set of live music and more time for conversations and connecting.
The WaveMaker Awards Benefit is an opportunity to celebrate our WaveMaker awardees, the vast network of rivers and streams that flow to the Hudson River, and the communities that work to protect them. These rivers, streams, and communities are all part of the Hudson River watershed. The benefit helps raise critical funds for the Hudson River Watershed Alliance to continue to unite and empower communities to protect our shared waters.
