Join us for a rain or shine event featuring live music, cocktails, dinner, and a silent auction. Alber-Haff Parking Service, Inc. is providing complimentary valet service.
The Annual Gala is the most important fundraising event on the Conservancy’s calendar – proceeds from the Gala make up one quarter of our operating budget. Funds raised from sponsors, ticket sales, individual donations and silent auction bids enable us to continue our work protecting the local water, open space, and historic resources and advocating for sustainability. If you are interested in becoming a Gala Sponsor, email [email protected] or click here to learn more.
The 2023 Gala is especially significant because the Conservancy recently finalized a conservation easement on the King family property, protecting most of their 15 acres in perpetuity. The Conservancy now holds conservation easements on 21 properties covering 198 acres. Join us to thank the King family for their dedication to preservation.
We will also be recognizing Bob Gray, a landscape architect and Conservancy supporter, for his innovative planting plan at the Cynwyd Heritage Trail. The Conservancy had received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife to expand wildlife habitat along the Trail, bolstering the Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail’s ongoing planting and maintenance work. Bob’s plan expanded the project scope and maximized the grant funding, significantly increasing the ecological value of the project.
