About Water Connects Us
Join us for Water Connects Us, Freshwater's annual benefit to connect around the role we can each play in protecting water now and for future generations!
Gather with supporters and partners of Freshwater for a night of networking, comradery, and learning about our work, from upstream to downstream. This won’t be a seated event, but rather an open house style opportunity to mingle, learn about Freshwater’s current work, and celebrate our shared commitment to inspire and empower people to value and preserve water. Heavy appetizers and a ticket for a beverage will be provided.
