Virtual Charity Auction
While we are sad we can't be together in person this year, we invite you to join us and bid on our amazing auction items from home!
This event supports Clean Water Action’s efforts to keep our lakes, rivers, streams, oceans and taps free of pollution and local programs to advance a healthy environment, clean air, renewable energy and green jobs. Our recent NJ victories include:
- Won strongest environmental justice law in the nation designed to prevent and restrict permits in neighborhoods already disproportionately impacted by many polluting facilities due to the color of their skin or income.
- Ensure food waste from large scale food generators is recycled in future, not buried & burned.
- Passed strongest statewide ban on single-use disposables (plastic and foam) in the country.
- Set targets and incentivized electric vehicle purchases to reduce NJ’s carbon emissions.
- Stopped dangerous fossil fuel projects including pipelines and power plants.
- Secured state revenue raisers that can be used for lead service line replacements and other environmental safeguards
Auction items include:
Paddling Trip from Pinelands Adventures
Multi-Pass to the Garden State Film Festival
Cycle & Sip Bike Tour with Encore Rides
Original Artwork

Traditionally, Autumn Toast includes wine selections and pours with Sommelier Louis Fontenelli and chocolate tasting with the amazing J. Emanuel Chocolatier, but since we're going virtual this year it's B.Y.O.B. You can certainly stick with tap water - which we work nonstop to protect - but we've also picked out some of our staff's favorite beverages for you to try.
Let us know what you think or share your favorite seasonal beverage with us on the Autumn Toast facebook event page.
Thank you to our Autumn Toast sponsors!
