Gala Celebration & Silent Auction

Tuesday, October 18, 2022

Brooklake Country Club
139 Brooklake Road
Florham Park, NJ 07932

Join us for an evening of good food and drink, spirited mingling, and browsing and bidding at our popular silent auction at our biggest fundraising event of the year! This year’s Gala keynote speaker, Olivia Carpenter Glenn, will provide a timely overview of the important topic, Environmental Justice. As Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor for Equity in Region 2 of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ms. Glenn will shine a light on the inequity that exists in New Jersey and the entire country when it comes to clean water and a healthy environment.

The Gala falls on the precise 50th anniversary of The Clean Water Act, the nation’s first comprehensive legislation protecting water quality by ending the culture of dumping raw sewage and untreated industrial waste into our waters. This dramatically improved the health of the waterways in the United States, but there is more work to be done to protect communities around the country and in our region to demand equal justice and access to clean water for all.
