Pilot Un-Gala 2020
Dear Friends,
In view of our world's continuing pandemic, HRMM has decided it is best for all to forgo our annual Pilot Gala. We know this is as much a disappointment to you as it is to us.
However, we must find a way to raise the funds necessary to sustain the Museum and its valuable programs. The Pilot Gala and the annual Year-End Appeal have, through your attendance and generosity in past years, supplied these necessary funds.
This year we are combining the two into the Pilot Un-Gala! We are asking you all to help us meet the ambitious goal of $50,000 raised. The suggested donation is $100/person for this non-event, less than a ticket to the Pilot Gala. We will, of course, accept whatever you can give, whether it is more or less. Support the Museum while you stay home and relax with your family!
As we always do at the Pilot Gala auction, you also have an opportunity to donate to your favorite individual programs in addition to the event ticket.
Thank you for all you do to help us tell the River's story. Hope to see you in person at the 2021 Pilot Gala!

RiverWise: The Documentary Film
|
In June and August of 2020, the Hudson River Maritime Museum sent Solaris, in partnership with Schooner Apollonia, on an adventure. Sailing the entire length of the Hudson River from Albany to New York Harbor, we called the project, "RiverWise."
Teaching people about the river and its history along the way, we also collected hundreds of hours of documentary film footage. This November, get ready for the first of many documentary films, this one about the voyage itself. Join the crew and museum staff as we take you with us on our epic journey. Check here often for announcements about the release date of the RiverWise film! |

We had hoped our 2020 Gala would have looked like our successful 2019 Gala (in photos below). We look forward to seeing you in person at our 2021 Gala!
