Why This Event Matters in 2026
A Toast to the Watershed brings together business leaders, municipal partners, and committed community members who understand that clean water, healthy habitats, and resilient infrastructure do not happen by accident.
Your presence and your partnership fund the science, planning, and protection work that keeps the Pomperaug Watershed strong for generations to come.
Our Gala goal of $130,000 raised will help support:
-
Water quality monitoring
-
Flood resilience collaboration with towns
-
Land protection and restoration
-
Community education and stewardship
