2026 GALA Hackensack Riverkeeper - One River, Many Voices

Please join us for our 2026 Gala Celebration on Wednesday, October 28, at 6:30 PM, at The Estate at Florentine Gardens in Rivervale, NJ Since 1997, Hackensack Riverkeeper has advocated for a fishable, swimmable, and livable Hackensack River. Then, as now, we fight for clean water, protected habitats, and your right to enjoy them all. The river has great wisdom, and whispers its secrets to the hearts of men. – Mark Twain Join us as we celebrate: ONE RIVER, MANY VOICES. One river can inspire a movement. Together, our voices can help ensure the Hackensack River remains healthy, resilient, and protected for generations to come. We make a positive impact every day in the lives of the more than 1.5 million people and countless wildlife that call our watershed home. We do not work alone and cannot do this work without YOU, our supporters. You make it all possible.
