Announcing AW’s 50th Anniversary Gala

November 20, 2003

 

Teva will host American Whitewater’s 50th Anniversary Gala at the Teva Mountain Games on June 5th.  The event will celebrate the past 50 years of American whitewater paddling while raising funds for AW to continue protecting and restoring the nation’s whitewater rivers.  To ensure that the soul of whitewater remains intact at the Gala, formal wear will be recommended and sandals will be required.  The event will be held in downtown Vail, Colorado at the Lodge at Vail.

 

Whitewater celebrities from the past fifty years of paddling are being invited.  Never before has so much whitewater history been gathered in one place at one time.  AW is thrilled to act as a conduit for the celebration of the people, innovations, and river conservation successes that have defined our sport.

 

The Gala will include a fundraising dinner, visual displays documenting the history of whitewater in the U.S., an Art Gallery dedicated to artists who have been influenced by the movement of water, and river trips on local Colorado rivers.

 

Please “Save The Date” for this momentous occasion as AW celebrates its 50th anniversary.
