Celebrating a Year of Collaborative Successes
The Greenway Annual Celebration brings together supporters from across the region to celebrate our coalition’s accomplishments in land conservation, ecological restoration, recreation projects, and connecting people with nature over the past year. From corporate, civic, and nonprofit partners to agency staff, forest rangers, and trail and restoration crews, all our guests play a role in keeping this region beautiful and accessible for everyone.
We also present awards to celebrate individuals and organizations who have made a great impact within the Greenway NHA and embody our values.
What to Expect
Program
There will be a social hour at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the main program at 7 p.m. The program will include our annual Parade of Accomplishments, which celebrates collaborative accomplishments over the past year, and an awards ceremony to honor individuals and organizations who exemplify Greenway values, and whose contributions have left a permanent positive legacy in the Greenway.
This event has an open-seating format. Our dinner has a long tradition of mixing and mingling between people from all corners of the Greenway coalition – corporate and civic leaders, nonprofit partners, donors, agency staff, and field crews. We welcome you to join in this tradition and get to know new coalition partners!
