Splash for Our Beaches!

The Shamrock Splash raises money for the Better Beaches Grant Program, which partners with local organizations and artists across the greater Boston area to plan free events and programs on our region's beaches from Nahant to Nantasket during the warmer months.

Last summer, we supported nearly 200 events aimed to bring people of color, Queer people, people with disabilities, and people who don’t primarily speak English to the Boston Harbor. We can't wait for you to join our efforts in raising money to invest back in our communities and beaches!
