The Bridge of Friendship ®  is a gathering designed to give individuals from non-profit organizations, foundations, businesses, local government, and the broader community a chance to truly connect in a comfortable and unique way.

The Bridge encourages networking on a personal level with the hope that each participant’s needs be recognized, collaborative partnerships be initiated and cooperative support be given. Since 2005, many projects and friendships have been born of time shared at the Bridge.

Our aim is for attendees to appreciate that within their diverse special interests lies the common goal of building a stronger community.
