Join Boston’s top environmental leaders to celebrate the champions of the Charles River who have made it a priority to advocate and create change on behalf of the river and its watershed communities. The Champions of the Charles Gala celebrates these leaders and champions while gathering like-minded citizen activists together to fight for and support a clean Charles. Guests will enjoy a magical and elegant evening raising funds to protect and enhance the Charles River for generations to come.
Funds raised through the Champions of the Charles Gala are immediately put to work restoring and protecting the Charles River. This includes projects such as, reducing sewage releases; removing invasive plants; installing "green infrastructure" such as bioswales and rain gardens that trap, infiltrate and purify stormwater before it reaches the river; and advocating for laws and policies that protect the river as well as protect the public's access to the river. The work of restoring the Charles River is far from over, and your support is vital for us to achieve a truly clean and healthy Charles River. The Charles needs us and we are in this together.
