Dennis Suszkowski

The staff and board of the Hudson River Foundation announce in deep sorrow the devastating news that our wonderful friend and colleague Dennis Suszkowski died on Saturday. The Hudson River community is incalculably diminished today by this loss. But we are all forever and immeasurably enriched by Dennis' contributions to the understanding and celebration of our River and by the joy of his friendship.

Register to Bring City of Water Day to Your Neighborhood

This year, City of Water Day: In Your Neighborhood will focus on activities that will champion the shared goal of a climate resilient Harbor that is prepared for rising seas and increased coastal storms. More than six years after Hurricane Sandy, storms of similar magnitude and increasing frequency across the nation continue to serve as a reminder of our vulnerability to the impacts of climate change in our region. HEP will be supporting City of Water Day In Your Neighborhood by providing funding to a limited number of eligible participating nonprofit organizations.
