ASPHALT GREEN GALA

Join fellow AGUA Masters swimmers and coaches for an unforgettable evening at the Asphalt Green Gala on Thursday evening, May 29th, with stunning views over Central Park at the Mandarin Oriental.

Proceeds from the Gala support Asphalt Green’s strategic vision priorities, including investments in facilities and expansion to serve more New Yorkers‒including important aquatics programming at the River East Elementary pool!

Asphalt Green helped lead efforts to recommission River East, the only accessible indoor in East Harlem, where we now serve nearly 1,000 members of the community with Wave Makers free learn-to-swim opportunities‒and our new pathways to competitive swimming in partnership with the Stand By Me Swimming Foundation and its Board Members/fellow Masters swimmers Fleur Sohtz, Chris Harris, and Trevor Freeman!

To reserve your sponsorship or purchase tickets and join an AGUA Masters table, please use this link, or contact gala@asphaltgreen.org.

Your participation will help strengthen Asphalt Green’s efforts to expand aquatics for New Yorkers of all backgrounds. Thank you for your support!
