The annual Yough Defense Party is a celebration of our beloved Youghiogheny River watershed. As Mountain Watershed Association’s largest annual fundraiser, the party helps advance and sustain critical projects in our watershed. Proceeds from the party help us host river cleanups, conduct water sampling, host community education events, and more.

This party is more than a fundraising event. It’s a beloved local tradition and a chance for people to come together and celebrate the beauty and power of our Youghiogheny River watershed.

We’re seeking sponsors, silent auction donations, and volunteers for this year’s party on November 19 at Falls City Pub in Ohiopyle. Our members, staff, and board would deeply appreciate your sponsorship as a reflection of your commitment to keeping our rivers and land clean and safe.
