Residents Forward’s Annual Gala

‘Caring For Port Washington Gala 2023’

Residents Forward has announced their annual Gala to take place on Friday, June 2 (raindate June 9). This year’s theme is ‘Caring For Port Washington’ and will be taking place at North Hempstead Beach Park, located at 175 West Shore Rd.

Each year, Residents Forward hosts this fundraising event to support its mission and honor residents that help make Port a better place. Residents Forward’s mission is to inspire and unify the residents of Port Washington to protect and advance the vibrancy, resiliency, sustainability and beauty of our peninsula. The group has grown to be a staple organization in Port and works with the local government and other community organizations.

Residents Forward invites the whole community to the fundraising event, where they will honor three residents, Environmental Champion Deborah Shapiro and Eco-Entrepreneurs Kim and Jeff Lichtenstein.

The 2022 Gala last year was the first gala hosted after the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was well-attended and was a beautiful celebration of Port’s resilience. Residents Forward hopes to continue the celebration this June. This year’s event will include dinner and drinks, DJ, dancing and raffles.
