MAKING WAVES:
An Evening to Benefit Potomac Riverkeeper Network
October 4, 2026 5:30-10PM
River Farm • 7931 East Boulevard Drive • Alexandria, VA 22308
Please join us for Making Waves, an elegant evening to benefit Potomac Riverkeeper Network (PRKN). Enjoy cocktails in the garden and dinner under the stars at beautiful River Farm, a historic property overlooking the Potomac River. From the rupture of the Potomac Interceptor pipeline, to being ranked the #1 Most Endangered River, the Potomac River and its tributaries have faced unprecedented threats this year – and our Riverkeepers were there every step of the way. Every dollar raised will go towards what we do best: protecting, defending and holding polluters accountable for every spill, every leak, and every Clean Water Act violation!
