Celebrate with Us

[two_third_last]EcoViva turns 20 this year. Join us for an evening of inspiration and solidarity.

For two decades we’ve worked alongside our partners to improve quality of life for rural communities and protect critical coastal ecosystems in Central America, all thanks to supporters like you.

Join EcoViva’s staff, board, and friends for a night of inspiration to celebrate 20 years of solidarity with resilient communities.

We are thrilled to share the evening with two guest speakers: award-winning author and activist Rebecca Solnit and filmmaker Avi Lewis, who most recently directed the film adaptation of Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything. There will be a preview of a short film by Avi Lewis about our colleagues and the social movement they have built in El Salvador, as well as messages of solidarity from our partners.

We will also honor Jeff Haas for his eight years of service as EcoViva’s Board Chair. He will be succeeded by board member Mary LaPorte and will continue to serve on the board.

Join us for drinks at the open bar, delicious Salvadoran food from a local restaurant, and lively music. Meet up with old friends, make new ones, and hear some powerful and inspiring messages at our anniversary event.

The celebration starts at 7:00 pm. There will be an intimate gathering and champagne toast with speakers Avi Lewis and Rebecca Solnit before the event, at 6:00 pm, for VIP ticket holders.

Don’t miss out on what is sure to be a great party. Get your ticket today!
