Supporting Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge—the gateway to Great Point—on Saturday, July 31, 2026 at 5:30PM

Join us for an unforgettable seaside evening with live music, a fresh raw bar, and beach games.

Hear from community leaders and special guests as they share updates on conservation efforts at the refuge. Gather with friends and neighbors to celebrate the natural beauty of Coskata-Coatue and its important role as a barrier beach.

For more than 50 years, The Trustees has protected the pristine beaches, miles of scenic trails, and critically important wildlife habitats that make up Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge. Beyond serving as an idyllic location for relaxation and recreation, Coskata-Coatue also shelters Nantucket Harbor—the Island’s lifeline—and downtown Nantucket from storms and flooding.

100% of event proceeds support the protection and stewardship of Coskata-Coatue. Invite your friends and enjoy a special evening of community building and positive impact.

Please note: a 4WD Over Sand Vehicle is required to access the celebration.
Don’t have an OSV vehicle? Not to worry, Trustees staff will be able to shuttle a limited number of guests to the tent. Email events@thetrustees.org to reserve a seat.

Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds, such as the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, the Boston Foundation, and CJP, have strict rules regarding the receipt of “goods and services” in exchange for sponsorship gifts. Gifts from a Donor Advised Fund cannot be used to pay for tickets. If you would like to make a separate donation to the fundraiser using a Donor Advised Fund, please email events@thetrustees.org so we can help make sure the designation is correct.
