25 years, 50 rivers, 1 Greenway: The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance is celebrating its 25th anniversary by hosting a 3,000-mile, 68-day birthday party — the East Coast River Relay. The series of public events began August 24 in Calais, Maine. Because of Hurricane Irma's damage in the Florida Keys, we're ending the River Relay early, on October 28 in Miami, Florida. 

Together, let's grow the Greenway

Recent record-setting funding for design and construction goes directly to building the East Coast Greenway - as it should. The East Coast Greenway Alliance needs your support to continue our advocacy work that is fueling completion of the Greenway. The Alliance has a sustained track record of turning every dollar donated to our nonprofit into $100 in public infrastructure investment. Invest today and support the growth of the East Coast Greenway from Maine to Florida.
