NY/NJ Baykeeper invites you to join us for our Annual Fall Celebration, a special celebration marking America’s 250th Anniversary and thirty‑seven years of protecting, preserving, and restoring the waterways that connect New York and New Jersey. This year’s gathering will take place at the historic American Legion Hall in Keyport, where community, gratitude, and shared purpose come together for an unforgettable evening.
Dinner will be provided by Drew’s Bayshore Bistro, a beloved local favorite known for its warm hospitality and coastal flavors.
We are proud to honor four outstanding leaders whose dedication, advocacy, and service have strengthened our communities and advanced environmental protection across the region:

Join us for an evening of connection, celebration, and inspiration as we reflect on decades of collaboration and chart a resilient future for our shared waters. We look forward to celebrating with you.
