Thank you to the 200 guests who joined us at the River Breakfast, our annual fundraiser held this year at the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.

The event was underwritten by the Tahoe Mountain Resorts Environmental Fund and the Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe. We truly appreciate their support so that all donations go to restoration and protection projects.

Thank you to these donors for coming together to create a $30,000 matching gift: The Martis Fund, DMB Highlands LLC, Squaw Valley USA, Truckee River Winery, Michael Sabarese, Elizabeth and John Eaton, Robie and Dean Litchfield, Joanne Roubique, the Hover-Smoot Family, Sierra Mountain Mortgage, and Lisa Wallace & Family.

Many guests at the River Breakfast made donations that put us a significant way towards meeting the match.  We are still processing the donations and will post our results up here as soon as possible.

Our heartfelt thanks to all who are willing to take the Truckee River watershed into their hands!
