We invite you to Roots & Rivers, an immersive evening fundraiser along the waterfront dedicated to protecting clean water across Northwest Washington. Hosted at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, this event brings together story, place, and local action.
We are honored to welcome Healing Through Hope, Nooksack storytellers who generously share place-based stories passed down through generations. Through their storytelling, guests will journey through the landscapes that shape this region. These stories invite us to listen first to place, history, and Indigenous knowledge and culture.
Woven throughout the evening, RE Sources will share how we work to safeguard our streams, rivers, lakes, and bay, advance climate resilience, and help communities be better stewards of the lands and waters we love. Funds raised at Roots & Rivers help turn community science into action, inform policy, and create real-world impact that ripples across our region.
RE Sources is a nonprofit organization working across our region to protect local water quality and advance our communities’ climate resilience through advocacy, education, and partnerships. Through water quality monitoring and timely alerts, we keep both the community and local decision-makers informed when our waters are at risk, so together we can protect them for people, wildlife, and future generations.
Guests will enjoy abundant small plates (allergy-conscious options available), drinks, dessert, and live music. Suggested attire is business casual.
Roots & Rivers is more than a fundraiser. It is an invitation to listen, reflect, and invest in the future of the lands and waters that sustain us all.

About Healing Through Hope:
Our matriarch, Tammy Cooper-Woodrich, taught us the importance of sharing our stories and culture with anyone who is willing to listen. Now, we have a multigenerational team of up to four of us who enjoy going to schools, museums, community events and even Australia to tell a story or 10.
