26th Annual California River Awards

We are fighting 3 big threats to California rivers. The Sites Reservoir, the Delta Tunnel, and the Voluntary Agreements  will degrade the Delta, accelerate salmon extinction, and destroy the California river ecosystems that we all depend on and love. This is not the California we want to live in, or to hand down to the next generation. Friends of the River is the voice of California rivers and we are raising our voice! We are vigorously organizing, advocating and litigating. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FIGHT THIS TRIPLE THREAT AND RESTORE CALIFORNIA’S RIVERS.

We need to raise over 20% of our annual budget at our spring gala fundraiser. Please support the 2024 California River Awards now, by attendingsponsoring the event or donating an auction item.
