Time to support, celebrate, savor, sip, repeat! The Lake Hopatcong Foundation is excited to welcome you to our Annual Gala & Auction on Thursday, July 17, at 6:00 PM at beautiful Stone Water, backdropped by sweeping views of Lake Hopatcong.
This year, it's all about the garden. Think native plants, shoreline buffers, and pollinators that help keep our lake healthy and vibrant! Don your flowing florals and colorful clothing and expect al fresco elegance. Indulge in mouthwatering passed hors d'oeuvres and gourmet food stations, and sip delicious drinks (don’t miss the 6-7PM open bar). With no assigned seating, you’re free to float from the deck to the dining room, mingle at the bar, and chat with friends, new and old, in true garden-party fashion.
Whether you’re in the room with us on July 17, or celebrating from home, our very popular virtual auction is back and opens one week before the event. Bid from anywhere on unique experiences, like a behind-the-scenes museum tour; curated items, like a basket of local honey; on-the-water experiences, like sunset cruises; and golf at exclusive courses. Register for the auction now, so you’re ready to bid (ticket buyers will automatically be registered).
There are so many ways to be part of this year’s gala. Tickets start at $150 per person, but we hope you’ll consider increasing your impact by purchasing a Gala Duo for $400, which includes two events tickets, two golden drink tickets, special recognition, and your name in the program. Sponsorship opportunities are available for both businesses and individuals, all of which include promotion, and many levels include tickets to the event. Does your business want to be recognized in our event journal? Ads start at just $100!
Feeling Lucky? Don’t forget to grab your Split the Pot Raffle tickets! Only 300 will be sold, and this year, we have more winners than ever (six), with the first prize winner potentially taking home $7,500. You need not be present to win! Call us at 973-663-2500 for your tickets.
