Because the river is here for us. 

The Spokane River has always been a storyteller. 

It s​peaks in current and quiet pools, in the laughter of children wading and the hust of herons lifting into dusk. It holds our histories, our hopes, and the chapters still unwritten. 

This fall, Spokane Riverkeeper invites you to gather for Spoken River, our annual celebration and fundraiser-- a night where art, music, food and community come together to honor the river and the works that protects it.

Come write yourself into the story.  Enjoy local fare, hear voices that inspire, and connect with fellow river stewards in a space filled with joy, reflection and purpose.

The river is here for us- in every season, in every story.  Now, we are here for the river. Your presence helps shape its story going forward.  You support ensures its voice continues to be heard. 

Let's celebrate. Let's commit.  Let's speak for the river.

Your Support Goes a Long Way to Protect Your River: Our work to protect the Spokane River continues as we transition to new leadership. We are a newer free-standing organization, working with law and policy to defend clean water in our basin's rivers. We educate our youth about healthy watersheds and fish. We collect scientific data, pick up litter, conduct river patrols, and do outreach to the urban homeless population along the Spokane River. In doing so, you will support the operations and programs that protect and benefit the Spokane River, its economy, and the well-being of its citizens. Please donate today.

Tremendous in-kind support is provided by Camp Creative, Imaginary Trout, and the Spoken River Committee.

THANK YOU!

Your Keepers,
Katelyn Scott, Jule Schultz, Katie Thompson, Liv Kindl, Anne Tenold, SRK Board and the Spoken River Committee.
