The Lake Ball & The After Party 2026: 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Lake Ball and The After Party!

This year's celebration brought us together in shared commitment to protecting Green Lake. Throughout the evening, we celebrated the memories, traditions, and experiences that connect us to this special place while looking ahead to the work that will help improve it for future generations.

A highlight of the evening was the introduction of the 75 Tribute Challenge, created as part of the Green Lake Association's 75th anniversary celebration thanks to the generosity of Doug & Diane Oberhelman. Guests were invited to make a tribute gift in honor or memory of someone who helped shape their Green Lake story. Each tribute celebrates the people who connect us to the lake we love, while supporting science-based efforts that protect Green Lake for generations to come.

The 75 Tribute Challenge continues throughout the GLA's anniversary year, inviting our entire community to take part in celebrating the people and memories that make Green Lake so meaningful.

Make your Tribute Gift today, and we'll add your special message to our virtual Legacy Wall as part of our anniversary year celebration.
