Please join us as we continue Preserving the People’s Park!
Here’s how it will work:
- After purchasing a ticket, you will get a “Party Box” mailed to your home. This will include Champagne (under separate cover), sweet and savory treats, and some other goodies to help you celebrate at home.
- Tune in to our virtual Gala Celebration on on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 7:00 pm on Facebook and YouTube.
- Table options are also available, which allow you to send Party Boxes to a group of your friends, family, or colleagues. Please note that each person listed will have a virtual “seat” at your table.
- Journal ads are also available for purchase. The Journal will be mailed to everyone attending the Gala.
- Our Silent Auction will be held online and will be open October 23-November 2, 2025.
