2025 Annual Benefit Party

Thank you for Celebrating 25 Years of WFC at Our Annual Benefit Party

Thank you to everyone who joined us for The WaterFront Center’s 25th Annual Benefit in 2025. Your presence, generosity, and enthusiasm helped make this milestone celebration truly meaningful and reaffirmed the incredible community that supports our mission.

Nestled in the serene southwest corner of Oyster Bay Harbor, The WaterFront Center continues to serve as a vibrant hub for marine science, STEM education, and sailing programs—reaching more than 15,000 individuals each year, regardless of age, ability, or financial background.

As a nonprofit, we remain deeply committed to providing free and specialized programs for military veterans and people with disabilities. With your continued support, we can ensure these transformative experiences remain accessible and our waterfront stays open and thriving for generations to come.

We look forward to welcoming you back for our 2026 Annual Benefit. The date is to be announced, and we’ll be sure to keep you posted as details are confirmed.

Here’s to 25 years of impact—and to the exciting future ahead!
