Join Us to Honor the Heroes of the Harbor

Every year, the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance honors Heroes of the Harbor, pioneers of the waterfront community who have led the way in revitalizing and improving the waterfront.

Save the date of Tuesday, October 9 this year for MWA's Heroes of the Harbor Awards and Parade of Boats. Join Roland Lewis, Cortney Worrall and the MWA board of directors and staff to honor restaurateur Michael "Buzzy" O'Keeffe (owner of the River Cafe and the Water Club), the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and rowers and paddlers, many of whom are part of the NYC Water Trail Association, who have expanded public access all around New York and New Jersey by offering free public programming. Find out what motivates these
watertrailblazers when WaterWire publishes special stories on this year's Harbor Heroes in the next two issues.

As in years past, the event will take place at The Lighthouse, Pier 61 at Chelsea Piers. Purchase tickets or a table by clicking here or by calling 212-935-9831, ext. 103.
