On behalf of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation Staff, Board, and 2021 gala committee, I am so pleased to invite you to join us at the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club on Saturday, July 31 at 6 pm for an evening to eat, drink, love, and support our lake!

Purchase Tickets 

Guests can expect great food and refreshments, an online and live auction - and camaraderie around an important cause: the protection of the environment and enhancement of the experience on and around Lake Hopatcong.

The evening’s program is as follows:
6:00 pm    Cocktail Hour
7:00 pm    Welcome & Opening Remarks
8:45 pm    Virtual Auction Closes
9:00 pm    Live Auction
9:30 pm    Split-the-Pot Raffle Drawing & Closing Remarks

Those who participated in last year’s virtual gala and auction will recognize the Givesmart platform, which we are utilizing again this year to sell tickets and allow participants to browse and bid on some great auction items. Our online auction will open virtually on Givesmart on July 28, so check back for some truly special prizes and experiences. All are encouraged to register on the platform, to allow for ease of browsing and bidding. While the auction will close the evening of July 31, you need not be present to participate or win!

Similarly, you do not need to attend the gala to win our Split-the-Pot raffle. However, you do need to be in it to win it! Tickets are $100 each and only 300 will be sold. There will be a first, second, and third place drawing, and you could potentially win up to $7,500. Give us a call at 973-663-2500 to join the fun, support our lake, and win some cash!

Last year, our supporters stepped up to help during a difficult year and made our virtual gala and auction the truly special and successful event it was. This year, we are excited to welcome you back in person, for an evening to celebrate with friends, and support a vibrant, healthy lake and community.

See you lakeside on July 31!

*To ensure a safe and comfortable guest experience, we will comply with all protocols set forth by the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club at the time of the event. In addition, outdoor areas will be incorporated into the event.
