Soiree Under the Stars

Share:

September 19 @ 5:30 pm 8:30 pm

Join us for an evening under the stars as we celebrate the people and organizations behind New Jersey’s Nature Accessible for All initiative.

We’re building a movement of people and organizations committed to making parks and natural areas accessible for people with disabilities and mobility challenges. Launched in 2021 by the Pinelands Alliance, this initiative is now a statewide initiative supported by nonprofit organizations throughout the state.  

Learn more about Nature Accessible for All during a very special evening at the Highlawn Pavilion and join the movement.

We are excited to announce that Broadway and television Ali Stroker will receive the Nature Accessible for All Inspiring Individual Award at this event.  Stroker is unable to attend the event due to a scheduling conflict, but a special video will be shown.

Stroker made history as the first actor in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway in Deaf West’s 2015 revival of Spring Awakening.  Stroker won the 2019 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as ‘Ado Annie’ in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!  Her mission to improve the lives of others through the arts, disabled or not, is captured in her motto: “Turning Your Limitations into Your Opportunities.”

Tickets are $250 each and include music, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, entrée stations, fine wine, craft beer, and a dessert and coffee bar. Enjoy lively conversation and inspiration as we work together to make nature more accessible for all people! Your ticket is tax deductible minus the fair market value of $193.

Proceeds benefit the work of Nature: Accessible for All.
