The Greenway Foundation is seeking nominations to recognize those who have contributed to the enhancement of the South Platte River and its communities.
Winners will be honored Sept. 13 at the
After Party on the Bridge on the on the historic bridge at 19th and Platte streets near Riverfront Park.
The foundation will recognize an honoree in each of four categories: art, public projects, private development and programing, events and recreation.
The deadline for nominations is July 1.
The After Party on the Bridge will take place one night after the Greenway Foundation's annual
Gala on the Bridge. The $75 ticket price includes street food catered by Three Tomatoes Catering, local cocktails and beverages, live music and networking opportunities.
Proceeds from the event support the South Platte River and The Greenway Foundation.
"The Greenway Foundation wants to find engaged supporters and broaden their reach," says Jorgen Jensen, co-chair of the event. "We realized that because there are access permits and infrastructure things that go into it, we could piggyback off the Gala and create a tandem event. The idea is to drop the price point to $75 and make it easier for people to get involved."
