The Wilton Woman’s Club will host its 17th Annual Spring Fundraiser on Thursday, Apr. 23, and this year’s event will bring the community together in support of the Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT), the transformative project creating a 30-mile multi-use trail from Norwalk to Danbury.
“We’re honored to support the Norwalk River Valley Trail, a project that strengthens the health, recreation and connectivity of our community,” Wilton Woman’s Club President Kathy Poirier said. “The trail is a gift to residents of all ages, from families with strollers to cyclists, runners and nature lovers. This fundraiser is a wonderful way for neighbors and friends to come together and help move that vision forward.”
The event, a perennial highlight of Wilton’s spring social season, will welcome approximately 175–200 guests from Wilton and neighboring towns for an elegant luncheon, silent auction, wine pull and fashion show featuring designs from The Plumed Serpent.
When completed, the NRVT will be the longest trail in Fairfield County. With key sections already open and in daily use, momentum continues to build toward a continuous, universally accessible pathway offering safe, scenic opportunities for walking, biking and outdoor exploration.
Funds raised through the Wilton Woman’s Club event will directly support ongoing construction and improvements, helping expand access to green space and enriching quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
The event runs from 11 a.m.–1:30 p.m. at Rolling Hills Country Club. Tickets are $125 and available online; guests are asked to RSVP by Tuesday, Apr. 14.
